Hi

I recently installed Ubuntu Breezy on a Gateway MX6121 Laptop. Originally
loaded with Win XP.

right now I cannot access the computer to give exact details so am typing ti
from memory:

The partitioning for the windows section is as such
C: 10 GB - Primary NTFS
D: 4 GB - Primary VFAT - The recovery section
F: 5 GB - Logical (I think) - Data section made so that it could be accessed
from both Linux and Windows

Linux Section (all the partitions were logical)
Swap 1.5 GB
/boot 106 MB
/root 8.5 GB
/home 30 GB

***
Problem

The install etc of Ubuntu Breezy all goes well - it boots into Ubuntu
normally, I reboot to check if everything is working and am able to log into
Ubuntu again

at the Grub options it shows
apart from the normal Ubuntu options
in the others section the following
Win NT/XP
Win Xp Home

So I choose the last - Win XP home
it boots normally and I am able to use this section normally - no problems

then I reboot and
boom
I get Grub Loading. Please wait ......
Error 15

and just a blinking cursor

It happened before and I read up on the forum and googled and the solution
seemed to be reinstall

then exactly the same thing has happened after reinstall

So what do I do: I don't have recovery disks for the in section since I was
confident that Linux won't screw up (having done similar installs on atleast
4 other machines)

I can reinstall and try athe first of the Win boot options instead of the
second

***
but what advice and suggestion

(no I cannot upgrade to Dapper as I live in a remote place , dpon't have
access to Dapper, and don't have the bandwidth)

will appreciate your urgent advice

thanks
ram
