Also, did you see anything in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file prior to editing it, after the ubuntu entries in the end, or was there nothing at all there?
sudo os-prober:
/dev/hda1:Microsoft Windows XP Professional:Windows:chain

sudo fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/hda: 100.0 GB, 100030242816 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/hda3 12096 12161 530145 82 Linux swap / Solaris

here it is, but i think it will be kinda useless cuz I already fixed the boot problem, but now I have a new problem, my Update Manager has this error:

"Software index is broken

It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first."

and when I try to fix it using Synaptic i get this:

"An error occured

The following details are provided:

E: lupin-target: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1"

and also, if I try using the command "sudo apt-get install -f" i get this error:

"home@cpe-00508dc259fb:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)

Is there anyway to fix this?
