I'm hoping someone can help me. I really don't want to have to reinstall everything.

I had my system booting into either Windows XP, or OpenSuse Linux 11.2, but I decided to try Ubunto 10.4.

After installation, it asked me to reboot, and ejected the install CD. At this point, I got a whole screen full of i/o errors, and rebooted the system manually. When it started, I did not get my Grub screen. It gave me an error that a disk wasn;t found followed by a long hex string, and then dumped me into a grub rescue command prompt.

I really don't have a clue where to go from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been able to reinsert the live-CD I was booting from and I'm presently operating from Ubuntu's demo mode.
