I installed a new Ubuntu OS in my computer, (I downloaded it yesterday) on a dual boot pc (windows xp) Installation went smooth until it reached grub-pc. It was installling grub-pc (1.98 lubuntu6). It hanged there for several hours. Finally I interrupted the installation.
When i went to the installed packages I got a message telling: Grub-PC 1.98 Lubuntu 6 Failed to Install or Upgrade.
I'm pretty new to Linux so I know nothing about it, but I wish to go away from Windows XP.
Any help pls?
regards

Depending on the state of the install, you can try to reinstall Grub2 using the procedures described here:

If you aren't successfull, you can post the results of the boot info script so we can see what state your boot files are in:

The Ubuntu installation is working. I can access to Internet, programs, etc. My only concern is leaving the Grub program unrepaired.
