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 _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
