Hi,
I am very new to Linux and I dual booted my PC with Ubuntu and to my dismay every time I choose the option to boot into Ubuntu I get the message below, I have no clue what to do, as I have not even once used Ubuntu :/
Can someone please help me
GRUB4DOS 0.4.5b 2011-11-27, Mem: 619K/3311M/4856M, End: 35560D
