Hi everybody

I just installed Ubuntu for the first time in my life. I'm a total newbie. So today i downloaded 10.10 Maverick Meerkat and installed it on my Computer as a dual boot additionally to Windows 7.

Before I installed it I tryed it and it worked perfectly. But now that I've installed it, it won't boot. When I start my computer the menu where you can choose which OS you'd like to boot appears. But when I choose Ubuntu the only thing my computer does is it shows a purple screen in the left top corner. In the middle it says "Ubuntu" and underneath it are five dots. But nothing moves or changes.

What can I do to make it boot?

Thanks

It sounds like your machine needs boot options:
