Hi Sivakumar,

> I THANK WITH MY FULL HEART FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE THIS 'LIVE CD' stuff.

First of all, good to know that you like Ubuntu a lot, and more
importantly, that you love to experiment with softwares/OS's on your
computer.

As has been pointed above, there is most probably an error in the
configuration file for your GRUB (the bootloader in Linux).  You can
pop in a live cd, and fix grub/repair the config file, after checking
out the tutorials on the net.  In case repairing the menu.lst file
does not work, I might recommend re-installing grub.  Just remember
that grub is a double edged sword... damn powerful, but at the same
time can wreack havoc with partitions. So tread carefully :)  Feel
free to post back with any further problems.

As a side note, writing in CAPS is considered to be shouting, and some
people in the mailing list can feel offended.  We do know that you are
new here, so maybe you could have a look at this once:

Happy experimenting :)
