Hi!
I tried finding some similar topic but I couldnt.
so here it goes:
I installed windows on my old desktop, and then i installed ubuntu 7.10 from a cd.
i had installed windows on the D partition of my HD.
After I installed ubuntu I couldnt find my windows in the grub menu.
I changed menu.lst to include windows as follows:
title Windows XP
root (hd0,4)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
I did this since my windows is on /dev/sda5
now when I tried going to windows it gives me error 12 invalid request or sth.
So I can only log on to ubuntu, and since I am using ADSL internet I can not set it up properly there :(
I am trying to set the computer working for my parents, but I guess formating everything was a bad idea :)
I am a beginner on ubuntu myself, so any help would be great!
