James meadowcroft LQ Newbie Registered: Dec 2008 Posts: 1 Rep:	Why can't I load ubuntu.? As a newbie this is probably the most basic of questions. When my computer starts (win xp home) I get a question as to which operating system I want to use. I can not shift between the two and the comp always boots win xp home. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Jim
