I installed ubuntu 9.04 on my fathers computer. from windows xp i had to use the bootloader program for live CD to get it to boot from cd option because it would not do it automatically. (i hope you know what that means). anyways i got into the setup menu for ubuntu and i selected install along side windows xp as there is no "free space" on the HDD as windows is taking it all up. then proceded to select the appropriate amount of space (30gig) on the slider bar. leaving 200gig for windows and 30gig for ubuntu.
it then did all the partitioning as usual, went through the complete set up and then prompted me to restart to complete installation. on reboot it automatically ejected the cd (i removed it) and restarted. however, instead of going into the grub loader as normal, it went into the bootloader again for the live CD/install process. i rebooted in XP and looked at the HDD and there was no apparent resizing if its partition leading me to assume NOTHING happened?!?
Any ideas as to what i have done wrong here?
