View Full Version : [other] Ubuntu/Lubuntu/Windows XP grub and boot problems

I've had Ubuntu 8.10 and Lubuntu 10.04 running along side each other and recently decided to add an XP partition into the mix.

I loaded the Windows XP installer from a boot CD and the install appeared to go off without a hitch. When the computer rebooted, I expected to see the Windows boot loader take over (I assumed I would just reinstall grub 2). Instead, I was greeted with what appears to be a grub 1 boot loader. It only sees Ubuntu 8.10 and Windows XP, but XP doesn't load, it gives an Error 13. Each operating system is on a different physical disk. I tried reinstalling grub 2 to the Lubuntu 10.04 disk, but nothing comes up but the old grub with no 10.04 and a bogus XP.

the installation of windows xp did not recognize ubuntu patition. if you erase a "not formatted partition" (for windows xp) windows xp may delete lubuntu 10.04.

for your error, I'm not very good in windows error, sorry

I installed it onto a different physical disk than the Lubuntu 10.04 or the Ubuntu 8.10 so I'm certain Windows XP didn't delete Lubuntu or Ubuntu. I am in the Ubuntu 8.10 install right now, as that is the only operating system currently working right now, so at least that OS is fully functioning.

I assume what I need to do is remove/delete the grub bootloader that is currently dominant (probably the one from Ubuntu 8.10?) and then reinstall the latest grub (grub 2 from lubuntu 10.04) to the lubuntu disk. Presumably grub will autodetect the XP I've loaded onto the system?

UPDATE!

I changed the boot order so that the SATA drive (Lubuntu 10.04 install) is the second boot device after the CD device and that brought me back to the grub 2 boot menu so I am back to being able to boot into Lubuntu.

However, Windows XP is unable to boot into the operating system (primary IDE HDD). When I select Windows XP in the boot menu it goes to a dim black screen and hangs.

I am trying to try Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop, and i have been going at this all day trying to find help besides asking for it, and i have finally succumbed to this. Right now i have tried using a live CD which i made from the iso file i downloaded off the website, and the Infra Recorder, then i tried booting, i moved the boot order so the cd/dvd drive was at the top. Then it didnt work and booted straight to windows. So i got a new cd and used the same iso file but i made it with iso recorded. The same thing happened with the windows booting. Now what i have down is used the suggested program to put the iso file on a thumb drive and boot from the thumb drive, i have already determinded my computer has this option. And again it booted straight to windows, at the moment the only things i can see that would be the problem would be that the iso file is corrupted in some way, or i need to do more to the thumb drive in order for it to actually be able to be booted from. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also i am running Windows XP SP3, 32 bit, and i am trying to try out Ubuntu 10.10

lol Alright, I'll try to help you as best I can. One of the things you can try is burning the ISO at a lower speed (like 4x or maybe 8x).

Also, it's always good to ask, are you burning the ISO as a bootable image and not just burning the ISO as a file on a data CD?

Also, for anyone out there looking to help me, upon reviewing posts I found the Boot Info Script so here is some output from that:
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010

If you make sdc (your 120GB, Ubuntu 10.04 drive) the first bootable hard drive in your bios, then, when Ubuntu loads up run
sudo update-grub in a terminal, you should see all 3 operating systems found as grub.cfg is run.
After that all 3 OSes should be bootable from the grub menu.
