I'm not really new to Ubuntu seeing how I've been using it for some time, but all I do is chat and watch videos, so I'm still pretty much a newbie, so please try to be as simple as possible.
I was installing Ubuntu 8.04 on Ubuntu (I deleted Ubuntu 9.04 because of some wifi problems and wanted to see if 8.04 would help).. I tried installing it on wubi. It wouldn't show up in Windows Boot Manager. I went to EasyBCD and added Ubuntu manually, and I get stuck a a black and white MS-Dos like screen that says "Grub". I really don't know what to do.
I tried it with 9.04, too, and it did the same thing. I can't boot from the CD because when I do, I get some green lines as if I was playing a broken cartridge on an old school Nintendo. It did that with other successful installs I've had, so I don't think that's really an issue. Please help. I really want to use Ubuntu again and not be stuck on Windows.
