Error: You need to load the kernel first 9.10

[zuhaibjahangir]

I have windows xp and now I have installed UBUNTU 9.10. When my laptop starts it comes up with the option of Windows Xp and Ubuntu.
Selecting windows xp works fine here but Selecting UBUNTU comes up with another screen giving three options.
1. UBUNTU
2. UBUNTU recovery and
3. Windows Xp

Selecting any of the above doesnt work here. With option 1 & 2 it gives the error message

error: you need to load the kernel first

Please help, I am totally new to this UBUNTU.

Post the bootscript in my signature in code tags as described. You will use a Ubuntu live cd to do this as your computer doesn't boot Ubuntu
