Hi,

Trying to setup an XP/Ubuntu dual boot machine.

Machine has two HD's (40 gig and 20gig). XP went on first on the 40 gig and then Ubuntu on the 20 gig.

When I boot up GRUB tries to load but then I get error code 25. I think this means something is wrong with the boot record or it could be a motherboard problem.

I got SuperGRUB off the web. Which is a CD that allows me to boot both OS's but I would like to try and fix this problem.

One thing I am a little bit worried about is that I think both HDD's came up as slave when I was installing Ubuntu, could this be a problem?

Any help appreciated,

Trying to do this now. But I can't seem to get into Ubuntu with SuperGRUB, only windows.

Also do I need to open a terminal window to modify the file you mentioned?
