so here is the issue and a walk through of what i have done.
I have Two Hd, one Sata Hd for my Xp install, and one IDE Hd for ubuntu. I put the ubuntu cd in and reboot computer, load the boot menu and choose to boot from the cd, everything goes fine and i get a brown background and a lil interface for install, i answer all the questions and choose the option to install on my second Hard drive ( the IDE hard Drive ) and it completes install and asks me to reboot. I reboot and i get a option to start windows Xp or ubuntu it is NOT the Grub menu. If i choose Xp then Xp will load and everything works fine, if i choose ubuntu then i get a splash screen that says ubuntu with a move orange bar and it will stay there for a couple min then go black for a min then give me a message that says loading please wait and brings up some "easybox"(i think thats what its called) command prompt or somthingand then im stuck there, i have checked the cd and there r no errors. i am able to boot from the cd and choose "boot from the First Hard Drive" and it will bring up the Gui but it seems sort of slow, i have been trying to do this all day and im about to say F it. Can anyone help?
