That is some scant information. I need a lot more than that. Let's get a better look at your setup & boot process. Boot the Ubuntu Live CD/USB. Choose "try ubuntu without any changes", when the desktop loads come back here and do the following:

1. Download the boot info script. There is a link in my signature.
2. Once downloaded move the boot info script to the desktop.
3. Open a terminal and run the command
sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh

This will create a RESULTS.txt file on the desktop. Paste the entire contents of that file back here. Once pasted highlight all text and click the # sign on the toolbar to place code tags around the text.

See here (http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/) for more info on the boot info script.

As far as I can see, things look fairly normal.

Could you perhaps use the LiveCD and post a screenshot of GParted showing your partitions?

The screenshot tool is under Applications > Accessories.

Ok, I just saw a posting by oldfred, one of the more experienced forum members, and it was this:

Check it out!!

Really hope this might help!
