Download the ISO, you could burn to a CD(RW); there's also a USB download, but I haven't tried it.
You'll want to boot from the CD/USB, then choose the option "Detect any OS". It'll detect and list the different boot options, like Linux and Windows.
Using this will allow you to boot from your installed Ubuntu, and you'll be able to revert the changes you've made to the GRUB files. Try the software "GRUB-Customizer" if you want a GUI.
Super GRUB2 Disk is extremely useful, when GRUB get replaced by another bootloader.
Does this mean I can use the universal usb startup disk installer to install "Super GRUB2 Disk" and then boot xubuntu and simply modify the grub file manually?
And once I do one of these things (which ever I chose) and I modify the grub file, what is the safe delay I can set it to? Grub delay of 0 is obviously near instant, Grub delay of 1 seems like it is nearly instant and for some reason in the time you cannot modify anything. Is Grub delay of 3 safe? Would holding down the up arrow, or spamming it, or just a fast reflex press be fast enough before the computer boots automatically.
I accidentally erased my hard drive and windows in my first ever attempt at installing Ubuntu.
