My Hard drive setup for the install:
hdd
XP PRO - ntfs(50%)/ - ext3 (45%)/boot - ext3 (2.5%)swap - ext3 (2.5%)
I just installed ubuntu 8.04 with that setup. I had xp installed previously. Now the setup finished with no problems but all get is my old bootup screen for xp.. no ubuntu boot screen. What am I doing wrong?

Did you remember to turn off virus protection in the BIOS (may also be called "Boot sector protection"; "Write protect boot sector"; "disallow boot sector changes", etc) _before_ install ?Originally Posted by h4lfl1ng
Check the BIOS for the relevant setting, and, if in fact it doesn't allow change to the boot sector, toggle the setting so that you can make changes to the boot sector, then you should download and use a CD called "Super Grub CD" or something similar, or re-install GRUB using the live CD.
