I really want to use ubuntu but at first when I installed the boot menu didn't show up my computer would boot straight to XP. I tried to follow some forums and fix it myself now I get the out of disk error. Here is my results from boot info script. I know I have to mount linux to sda but everytime I use sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda it doesn't change. Now my windows doesn't show up and i can't boot anything. Please help! This is the command i used:
sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

Help! Please help me get the boot menu available so I can run both. Thanks!
