Uninstall Kubuntu


Recommended Posts

it is easy to make xp boot first. you need to edit your file called /boot/grub/menu.lst . To show you how I will show you my file

default 0
timeout 20

title=gentoo
root (hd0,1)
kernel (hd0,1)/bzImage root=/dev/hda5  

title=ubuntu
root (hd0,5)
kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root=/dve/hda6
initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386

title=FreeBSD
root   (hd0,0,a)
kernel /boot/loader

noitice the first line that is labled default 0, this means it will boot the first OS in my list, which is gentoo. If I changed the line to default 1, this would boot ubuntu(the second in the list) first. You will have to change it to the number that corresponds to your windows XP install.

sorry, I did not mean to delete your(murtu52) post :blush: . My mod powers got the best of me.

could you have accidently erased your windows partition?

what does the output of the command

mount

show you?

edit added later///

I accidently erased murtu52's post about editing grub to boot windows 2000. That is what this post is trying to answer.

how many drives do you have?

if you have just one, do:

sudo /sbin/cfdisk /dev/hda

if you have more then one, do:

sudo /sbin/cfdisk /dev/hda
sudo /sbin/cfdisk /dev/hdb

then cut and paste that info. I am assuming you are using ide drives.

also cut and paste your file /boot/grub/menu.lst

Well, moving the files to this computer (the laptop doesn't have internet--really hard for me to set it up, one of the reasons i've decided to quit linux for now) might be a problem, i'll see what i can do...

Booting up my computer is really hard. As i said, its old and has a lot of errors, so when it boots up and has these errors, it'll try fix the problem and won't boot up.
