Hi,
I recently installed Ubuntu next to XP. After having problems with Gnome not loading I decided to reinstall Ubuntu. I foolishly unallocated the Ubuntu partition using XP (thinking that GRUB uses another partition). Then running the live CD I noticed that Ubuntu didn't want to use the unallocated partition. So I reformated the it using the live CD. Following that I can't boot into XP either (receive GRUB error). Also the live CD doesn't want to install. Instead it gives me an Ubuntu console (ubuntu@ubuntu).
Can I install Ubuntu from the console or do I need to obtain an XP cd? My goal is to keep XP and have a fresh installation of Ubuntu.
Appreciate all help I can get!
