Hi,

Could you give me a solution to this please? Grub won't boot after I changed my motherboard. Just boots straight into XP.

I've got Supergrub, but that won't autofix it.

Here's the report:

When you installed new motherboard you reversed the order of the drives. In BIOS you should be able to change the current boot to be second. That should get you Grub but then your windows entry is wrong.
You need to map the second drive so windows thinks its first. Add the map lines to menu.lst.

The other choice is to reinstall Grub to the current first drive to point to the Ubuntu install on the second drive. I prefer to keep the windows boot since it works, just incase in the future you have issues and want to boot that drive directly. I like each drive to boot to a operating system on that drive. Otherwise any drive error prevents booting.

You have 2 drives... is that correct?

Your previous motherboard may have had the BIOS set to boot from the drive containing Grub and Ubuntu, therefore you may need to change the boot order in the new board's BIOS.
