Ubuntu Gnu Grub?


Hi. I am using the latest version of Ubuntu Linux. I've been using it for about a month. One day, as i booted up my computer, something didn't go as planed. It started to boot up, but it went to some screen that said:

"Gnu Grub version 1.97 beta 4
Minimal BASH-like editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device, file completions.

Sh:grub> (it wants me to type something here)"


How to i get rid of that screen. How to i get onto my Ubuntu Linux. HELP!

Are you sure you didn't accidentally type the "c" at the grub menu ?
What happens when you type the ESC key at this prompt ?

That would be grub2 - very different to (the old) grub. Haven't bothered with it as I feel it ain't ready - @Nickman7896 try reading this. You might get better answers on ubuntuforums as well.
