Hello Lee,
Thanks for your quick reply. I didn't make myself clear when I said I'd
tried to install 10.04. I am using a "live" cd & it starts to load, gets
to the ubuntu screen, the little red dots chug along & then eventually,
the error message above come on the screen.
When I type help, it gives me a list of commands to use & using "find"
it tells me that Grub & /etc/fstab don't exist. Obviously they haven't
been loaded yet?
