10.4 LTS Upgrade Mouse & Keyboard freeze
I upgraded to 10.4 LTS from 9.10 (which was working perfectly) a few days ago, and after about 10 to 15 minutes the mouse and keyboard stop working. I have to reset the computer and the process...
Yeah! I finally got it right. I got 8.10 to work on my SATA drive and here's how: when installing choose the MANUAL method. Then CREATE a new primary partition of at least 3 GB and make it the SWAP...
Well, here I am again with no success. I could try re-installing again and install the GRUB to the Windows XP HD and see if 8.10 will boot. Or I could just hook up a external hard drive with a IDE...
I still have not yet been able to boot into UBuntu on any install I do so getting to the terminal isn't possible. I just now finished installing 8.10 and it still won't show the loader for me to...

Re: Can't boot into XP using GRUB
Well, I'm now back in XP, but the (hd4,0) wasn't the answer. I got an ERROR 21: SELECTED DISK DOES NOT EXIST. I then edited the command string to (hd3,0) which had worked the one time before and it...
Still a no go. My brain is mush after beating myself with this today and it's time to call it a night and give some of you gurus a chance to figure out why I can't boot into XP. My last resort would...
I have two external HD's, and one other internal SATA drive - 160GB. Windows XP is installed on SDE1 and 5:
Disk /dev/sde: 300.0 GB, 300069052416 bytes

Can't boot into XP using GRUB
I've tried to avoid posting my problem, but I've spent most of today reading through many posts and getting nowhere. Here's the problem: I installed Ubuntu 8.04 yesterday on a IDE 80GB HD and had...
