Okay...starting to get frustrated.
Here's my story: Trying to run Ubuntu as my main OS, while I still have XP installed to run a few programs I still need to use occasionally.
First I installed Windows. Then I installed Ubuntu.
Now when I start up the computer I get the boot menu (it's the windows boot menu). If I select Windows, it loads XP. If I select Ubuntu it starts loading then goes to a command prompt. Obviously I'd like it to load Ubuntu!
So, can anyone point me in the direction of how to get Ubuntu to load automatically, with the option to load XP instead during the boot process.
I've tried fooling with GRUB, but I can't find any decent documentation on how to get everything to work. It would be nice if there was a website written by semi-techie people like me. Everything I've read is obviously written by people that understand this stuff up and down, but don't realize that not everyone on the face of the earth is as knowledgable as they are.
Thanks in advance. Hopefully I can get this rolling. Eventually I'd like to dump Windows completely (at least for my personal use).
