I'm an utter n00b. I have a computer with a C drive of 500GB and a D drive with about 500GB. I then tried to install Ubuntu. I screwed it up somehow and so I installed it again. But I screwed that one up too. When I turn on my computer it says:
VindowsVista
Ubuntu
Ubuntu
I for some reason have two Ubuntus and I don't know how to get rid of them. When I select one it loads but not with a graphical user interface/GNOME. I wanted to Install Mint over top the Ubuntus, but instead selected to boot side-by-side with Windows. Now a Mint menu appears when I turn on my computer, and I can either chose Mint or Windows. When I go to Mint it doesn't work. When I go to Windows it takes me back to the Windows boot loader where it still displays:
WindowsVista
Ubuntu
Ubuntu
I was able to boot Windows when I then went to delete the partitions with Ubuntu on it and start over. So I did that, and now when I start my computer it says Grub Error 22. I tried to use the super grub disk to fix it but have been unsuccessful. I am currently using a live cd to access the internet and write this post.
If its of any relevance, I have an Acer Aspire Desktop computer running Windows Vista 64-bit home premium, or not running in this case, with an added internal TB hard drive. I have 8GB of ram.
I hope someone can please help me.
