G'day Everyone,
I am a long time ubuntu user (4.10) and have had a fair bit of experience installing ubuntu and the many mishaps along the way.
So after having no internet for a year I decide to try the new 10.04 flavour by ordering the cd from the site.
Installation went well, no hiccups. But when I restarted the comp
it went straight to Xp, so I thought I'll just use the SGD to boot the partion anyway and fix this small problem later.
Well...
After SGD confused sda with sdb, I figured out that GRUB2 is now the standard boot loader.
So thats where I am lost, I have searched the
forums quickly (25 pages or so..) and realise that I am not going to fix this easily or by trial and error.
here's some info
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
WinXP SP3
Intel P4 3.0
1.5 GB RAM
Nvidia 6200 agp
IDE HDD 36 GB sda1 NTFS, sda2 ext3(/), sda3 swap
SATA HDD 160 GB sdb1 NTFS, sdb2 ext3(/home)
Cheers in Advance !!
