/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off error

[cherv29]

hi all

i have been using windows xp and ubuntu simultaneously for more than one year and everything was working fine.

Recently, i have just installed windows 7 and this has wipe out the ubuntu os selection screen (GRUB) and windows 7 boots in automatically.

Moreover, while trying to install ubuntu again, i get the following error while booting the ubuntu cd:

/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off

please help

thanks

This is normal behavior for Microsoft; they always think they own the MBR and overwrite it. Even service packs tend to do this.

Try burning a new CD; that one may not be any good.
