Hi everyone
This morning I installed ubuntu linux on my pc on a different hard drive. I told it to install the bootloader on my XP hard drive (D: ). It all installed fine, restarted the pc and it would display the BIOS logo then would say "boot from CD" and nothing else. The hard drive LED did light up for a second but nothing would load up (unless a disc was inserted it wouldn't load up). I ran the linux live CD and mounted the hard drive, opened up the boot ini file and nothing was in it. I have run recovery mode with the XP disc but when I enter "bootcfg /rebuild" or "bootcfg /add" I just says I got errors on the disk, run chkdsk. I ran chkdsk and no errors. I'M SO CONFUSED . Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks
*UPDATE* I managed to get "bootcfg /add" but still doesn't work!
