ok i installed a new copy of xp home edition
then ubuntu
i had wireless problems i couldnt fix with ubuntu so i installed xubuntu as well alongside windows xp and ubuntu.
The xubuntu installed ok but i was given about 5 choices of which grub bootloader i wanted to use.
i think i chose the existing recomended version which turned out to be a mistake.
the grub is almost totally broken.
it will boot the new xubuntu but nothing else. in fact if i even try to make another choice the grub and whole computer freezes and needs HARD REBOOT
how do i fix this bootloader w/o losing my windows xp?
i am still having wireless problems too.
on the old ubuntu i couldnt even log onto the wireless.
now it logs on alright, sometimes even automatically by itself but now i am getting alot of SERVER NOT FOUND errors when trying to surf webpages.
i was getting similar problems with windows xp before i installed xubuntu
any ideas whats going on here?
