Firstly I partitioned my 120gb sata HD to a 20GB partition for my Ubuntu installation.
I then restarted Ubuntu booting off the DVD for the instllation. Once I got to the partitioning screen i made a swap partition of 512mb, the remaing space i used for my Ubuntu installation, making sure that the Bootflag was On and the Mount Point was set to (/) root directory.
I then installed and set all the normal stuff, installed GRUB, then when I restart it says "Error Loading Operating System"
I tried changing around the obootflags, but i just boot into Windows, no Grub Screen appears.
I tried running the Super Grub disk to no avail, it says "Selected Disk doesn't exist" and "Partition does not exist".
I then tried loading up the repair facility on the WinXP disk and run the FIXMBR command, it said it successfully completed, but no difference
.
I decided to re-install Ubuntu from scratch again, when i got to the Grub installstion section it says the following OS's are installed, it listed "Windows XP Proffesional
twice. Could this be part of the problem im having? Maybe because beforehand i made a partition in WinXP for Ubuntu to use?
I was thinking that it could be detecting two WinXP installations because I installed Windows on top of itself a while back due to corruption and didnt want to format and lose data. In the process the drive letters C: and D: switched so this is the only explanation i can think of.
