AHH! grub confusion and stuff

**leinad177** · August 2nd, 2010

ok i had win7, xp and ubuntu on my computer

my xp self destructed so i tried to do a repair install but i lost my serial >.>

when i select the windows 7 launcher in grub it just goes into xp instead of bringing up the menu

so anyway, is there a way to delete my windows 7 partition and then increase my ubuntu partition?

dammit i really hate typing these things while im tired

Hi,
boot your computer with an Ubuntu LiveCD choosing to try not install.

Click on the link at the bottom of my post and follow the instructions there.

Post the results back here and please use the # tag to wrap the text.

Thanks.

Can you download and burn an ISO image?

If yes, then you can still follow the original instructions I posted.

If no, is there someone who can do this for you?

my internet has been slowed...downloading a ubuntu livecd would take forever on a 64kbps connection
