I have win xp on my dell 8300. I downloaded ubuntu 9.10 to usb flash and i can boot into ubuntu from it. also, i cannot use win cd or ubuntu live cd. i hear the drive spin...but the system will not read it.
while booted from my usb however, i cannot dual boot into xp or ubuntu from the pc drive.
i can get into terminal when booted from the usb.
when i try to boot the pc normally from the hard drive ... the screen reads: GRUB loading.
error: no such disk
grub rescue>
i have read many many threads and tried many things to get it to boot. no luck :(
can anyone help?
Thanks
