Ok, so I have a dell xp computer. It got a virus, so I installed ubuntu 9.1. I have had no issues with it, until recently, when I used a windows restored disk in an attempt to fix windows. I installed windows...Long story short, I want to run linux again, but since I am not given any boot options, like I previously was, I can't unless I boot from a liveCD.
I thought it was a GRUB problem, but I re-installed GRUB. And that was not the Start Up Menu. I believe I need to re-install the start up menu. I have no idea how to use grub, or how to remove it. I've never seen it before.
Does anyone know how to do that?
I know I partitioned the drive and installed ubuntu on part of it.
So now when I boot up my computer it comes to
"[minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename.]
grub> "
I want to somehow get back to having this menu appear when I start up with it saying xp, instead of 7.
