Kweli Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hey Jonz I left my laptop at home but read the forums most of the day. What i found was because I have xp I dont have a efi something or other. I downloaded boot_v8 file moved it to /boot in ubuntu. Changed my /boot/grub/menu.lst to call (h1,4) which is were ubuntu is and it worked. Thanks for at the reply. It took me til almost 4 to find the post on how to fix it.
