1) To set the order, just put those items in the menu in the
order you want -- Windows first, Debian second, etc.
2) If the operating system you want as the default is in
position N in the menu, where N starts at 0, then use
default N
to set that one as the default.
3) As far as I can tell, the only difference between
recovery mode and the default mode is that recovery mode
uses single-user mode -- meaning that it boots you into a
root login console and doesn't start a lot of your daemons.
It's there in case something's broken on your machine and
you need to fix it.
4) To add a Windows block, use the instructions I gave the
other day -- which basically involve copying a block out of
/usr/share/doc/grub/examples/menu.lst
Let me know if this helps. And please email the debian-user
list directly, not me. That way others with more and
different expertise can help you too.
Cheers,
Steve
