While booting screen shows {Out of Range}
 
Hello All,

I have a big problem with my system.
1.Installed WindowsXp first in the C: drive.
2.Installed UBUNTU 12.0.4 LTS in D: drive.

Problem
After completion of the Ubuntu installation restarted the system but i didn't found any boot loader and my screen displays OUT Range message.
After some time if I hit enter it automatically enters in to Ubuntu.

Please help me to how to resolve this..
If you didn't got my point please reply me back..

Thanks,
Kiran

Correct. That should give no problem at dual booting as the Ubuntu boot loader automatically provides a menu for the windows.

Nothing big. It is just that your grub boot loader needs to set a lower display configuration. You can fix this easily in the grub. You can learn how to do this by short read from here, click the link and read.

Goodluck.

I had a similar problem with an earlier version of Ubuntu. Boot Ubuntu, open a terminal and enter the following:

Quote:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Enter your password when prompted and you should have that text file open. Look for the line below in that file:

Quote:

#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
Remove the hash mark (#) at the beginning of the line and save and reboot to try it.

Of course you have to commit the change to the config file with
Code:

sudo update-grub
before rebooting.
