New question #77443 on Ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77443
Considering that I am very new to computers and a very novice, the problem I face is when I reboot the laptop after Ubuntu Desktop 9.04 installation I get GRUB Error 18! What exactly I did: 1. Downloaded the Ubuntu ISO and burned on a CD, 2. Installed the Ubuntu 9.04 O/S from the CD, 3. Selected the option which allows you to install 2 operating system side by side (I already have Win XP installed on my laptop), 4. Followed the default on screen instructions to install the O/S (Not sure which drive orpartation it got installed in) 5. It asked me to reboot, I did and was faced with GRUB Error 18. It dosent load anything, when I reboot it just shows GRUB Error 18. I cant even get into my Windows XP or F8. I can only use Ubuntu from the CD that i burned. Nothing else loads or works. Is it that the boot loader is corrupted & not loading XP? Kindly let me know what to do and how to troubleshoot the issue in a step-by-step format so that my laptop becomes a dual-boot(XP and Ubuntu at a time). I certainly appreciate any help in this regard. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
