 Posted: Thu May 22, 2008 11:53 am Post subject: help with GRUB |
 |
|
Just installed Ubuntu on a separate drive and the first time I rebooted
I got a "menu" where I could select between Ubuntu or Windows XP. After
shutting down, I restarted later and the machine tries to boot up but
gets to the point where "Loading GRUB Stage 1.5" comes up and shortly
after the machine reboots again - it continues in this loop. I can't
get to Windows or Ubuntu because the "menu" doesn't ever come up. How
can I get GRUB deleted so that I can boot into Windows without having to
completely reinstall windows again? I've tried Windows XP recovery
booting from the CD rom and the drive where Windows is installed has
been made a dynamic drive, so it shows up as a ? and can't be accessed.
This is a real flub and enough to make me forget Linux if I can't run
both operating systems on one computer with each OS installed on a
different hard drive. Any help would be appreciated. |

resolved,
Sorry to have replied so long after you have posted... I recently
located this Newsgroup from a linux search on Google...
Here is a weblink, that someone should have posted for you back in May
when you asked for assistance...

Thanks for the link. I just tabled linux for a while. Waiting for the
latest Ubuntu distro and may install it on a PC laptop solo - without
any other OS on it. |
