Hey everybody
I have a problem with my computer, propably because I was acting again before I thought ](*,) . The problem: A couple of weeks ago, I had installed Ubuntu. Because of a driver problem I couldn't get it up and running, and I ordered a newer version. The GRUB was installed and I could normally choose between Ubunutu and WXP. They had their own partitions. When the new version arrived, I tried to boot from the CD and install it over the older Ubuntu installation. I tried to boot from the CD, but I didn't succeed (I didn't think of the "try to boot from the floppy, take the floppy out and put CD in to boot from it" method). With partition magic I removed the Ubuntu partition and created a new one, to make sure it was fully empty. I restarted the PC and now it says GRUB error 22 (partition not found) error. It says "non-system disk" when I put a floppy in, but it can't boot from CD.
Please help this poor noob out!
