What happened to the Ubuntu?

[walkingonthesun]

Like a few weeks back, I installed Ubuntu, and it was working fine. My computer's motherboard went screwy and I had to get a new one; the CD Drive / Floppy Drive / Hard Drive are still the same. Now, it just boots straight into XP rather than showing the GRUB loader. The Disk is still partioned and everything, and I think the Ubuntu stuff is still there... why's it like this though? Is there anything I can do to just delete the Ubuntu off, or just make it usable again...

Get Super GRUB Disk (http://www.supergrubdisk.org/).

To check if Ubuntu is still there:

Applications > Accessories > Terminal

then copy/paste or type this code:


sudo fdisk -l small L

Ok, well, it looks like Ubuntu is still there (http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/2223/screenshotky1.png) but it's not booting like I said... are you guys sure I need the grub loader? I've never fooled with Ubuntu before, so forgive my... ignorance...

Fine, fine, I'll go try to reinstall grub.
