Well, I looked at the partitions with gparted, and found two swap partitions. I tried to remove an unused obsolete ext3 partition and the oldest swap, and now when I boot I get the Grub_Recovery prompt. This is Grub2 with Kubuntu 9.10. So I am now working (temporarily) from the other home machine. It seems to me that Grub2 doesn't like changes! I'll keep you informed. Peter M. Later the same evening.... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD Enabled me to get back my kubuntu system. All I need to do now is recover my XP side. Peter M. I saved the relevant part of that link as a file, so I have it available if someone needs it -- Next meeting: Dorchester, Tuesday 2010-01-05 20:00 Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset
