"Minimal BASH-like" problem

[Macgyver150]

Hello,
I have a problem with booting my Ubuntu System.
I have installed the new version of Ubuntu(11.04) next to Windows XP on my PC. When I restarted my PC I have selected "Ubuntu" from the boot menu. When I did that following massage arrived at my screen:

"
GNU GRUB version 1.99"rc1-13ubuntu3

Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command complections. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file complections

grub> _"

Can you please help me to start Ubuntu, best in German?
Tanks,
Matthias

with which program I should do that: ????:(:(

"Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal in Gnome) and type :
sudo bash [path/to/the/download_folder]/boot_info_script.sh
For example if you downloaded the file to the desktop, use:
sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh
If your operation system does not use sudo, use:
su
bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh"

I dont have 'Terminal in Gnome'

You will need to use an Ubuntu CD, and boot from that. The desktop version of the Ubuntu CD allows you to boot from computer from the CD, then run Ubuntu from the CD (called the 'TRY' option). From that CD based version of Ubuntu, you can run the boot info script & post the script output in this thread.

Is to give us information about your Ubuntu install in it's current state, and from the script output we can (usually) give you the steps to fix the install.

So please do not attempt to remove the Ubuntu install, instead boot from the CD and run little Ubuntu from the CD using the 'TRY' option), and then follow the step to create the RESULTS.TXT file, then post the contents of the RESULTS.TXT file in this thread.

Thanks!
