I feel slightly dumb, but not completely
I have Ubuntu on one partition, and XP on another.
I just now re-installed the XP, but of course, left the Ubuntu partition intact.
Now, at first, I thought that the dunderheaded XP had uninstalled my Ubuntu completely, but this is probably not the case; or at least, I hope it's not, because when I view the amount of hard drive space on Windows, the total is equal to what the newly-formatted XP partition was supposed to be.
Thus, I am assuming that the Ubuntu is still viable, and I want to get back to it, but installing XP has messed up GRUB; I've tried installing and running GRUB, and looking through the commands, but I can't decipher what exactly I should do to get back to my Ubuntu kernel.
any ideas?
