[ubuntu-us-in] May I ask your adice and assistance???

[John Ward]

Hi;

My name is John Ward,  live in Bourbonnais, IL - near Kankakee - about  
30 miles west of Lowell, IN.

I have 4 computers, question applies to two of them.  Both are running  
Windows XP Home Edition and I did install Ubuntu 8.04 in these two, as  
a program within Windows, and worked fine for a bit, then I had to  
remove it for some reason.

However the Dual Boot option Screen still displays on the Medion  
computer as well as on the H-P Computer. Further, I get a message on  
the HP computer which I will include here shortly.  Both these things  
were either  the reason or the result of/for uninstalling and  
switching back to Windows.  If I can get these corrected, will save me  
reloading <groan>.

Message at bootup of HP when you select Ubuntu to boot to:

find--set-root --ignore-floppies/ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst

error 15: File not found

Press any key to continue  (I press key)

Then: new screen:
(Across top, above window): GRUB4DOS 0.4.3  2008-04-22,  Memory:   
638K / 958M,   CodeEnd:  0x41228

<Window begins>

Within window:
find /ubuntu/dosks/boot/grub/menu.lst
find /ubuntuiinstall/boot/grub/menu.lst
find /menu.lst
find boot/gPanel/system/Advancedrub/menu.lst
command line
reboot
halt

<end of window>



Both computers are currently working fine in Windows , but the dual  
boot screen is bothersome at this point.

I have gone to Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager and think  
I saw a screen there listing the dual boot options that are on the  
computer, will look there again - but not sure I saw any way to remove  
the UNWANTED options?? I am wrong, I went to Control Panel/system/ 
Advanced and found the list there.

I hope I have given you enough in put that you can get me clear of  
these problems?<G>  Thank you very much in advance.  I really would  
like to become proficient in Ubuntu some day.
