Ubuntu Problems


Recommended Posts

hi all

ive had problems

with ubuntu

i had a dual boot with xp and ubuntu

on the same hdd

ive used ubuntu for some time now and all was ok until i was installing packages

when every thing stopped

and i couldnt get in or out

even rebooting didnt help

ok i inserted my xp disk to fix the mbr

but that was no use

as i couldnt boot to either OS

so i had no alternative

but reinstall windows and ubuntu

which ive done

can some one tell me what i did wrong

why did it freeze while installing packages

if i had been able to get to windows

i could have fixed the problem

this post isnt to

downside ubuntu

can any one pinpoint my problem

yes i tried to get to the recovery console

i coudnt get in nor out

and as a novice with linux

i was completely lost

if iwas able to get to windows

i could have delete the ubuntu pattitons

but iwas like a man with no arms or legs

i couldnt move

as it was i had to fdisk and format the hdd before i could reinstall

however ive got both installed again

but it has taken me many hrs

to do this

and ime back in biz again
