I also have WINDOWS XP and WINDOWS > 98 installed in my system. The clock synchronising process requires an Internet connection so that it can sync the system clock with the various time servers around the world. If you don't have Internet, then this process will keep trying and will time out eventually. You can stop the process at the beginning itself by pressing Ctrl+C and it will then boot up just fine.

AMD Athlon is just as good as (if not better than) and Intel processor. > How will I get this problem rectified? To solve this problem permanently, do this when you have successfully booted into the system -- $ sudo update-rc.d -f ntpdate remove This will remove the clock syncing process from the boot-up scripts and you'll be fine. Please join the Ubuntu-India mailing list by following the instructions given in the page -- https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in It's recommended that you mail the list from now on instead of mailing me in private for such queries.
