I installed 8.10 from the Live CD. It copied various files and then reboots the system.
I also have WinXP installed.
Instead of seeing any OS selection menu, I just see "GRUB" on the screen.
Here's the output from fdisk (running from LIVE CD) :
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Any help would be sincerely appreciated !
Even just getting rid of GRUB (and back to WinXP) would be a great help.
Cheers,
