it means that saying "RTFM" is considered mean and that you should have read the Code of conduct. The reason why it was written as RT CoC was to show you how unhelpful it is.

Sorry about the RTFM comment. As for how to fix this can you please put that cd and boot into the live environment ( the one you used to click the install button). Then look in your new 20 GB ubuntu partition for the file /boot/grub/menu.lst. Please post that file here so that we can correct it for you.
