Bug Description
Hi.
I'm new to linux (but not computers), and recently installed Mandriva 2009 preview on my XP laptop - no problem, a dual boot was created automatically by Mandriva installation. As i'm still evaluating mandriva, I did not want to remove it (in fact, I'm also not sure how to remove it yet). Yesterday, I got ubuntu 8.10 (from Linux Format), and installed it... everything seemed to go OK, it took some space from a previous ntfs partition (just like mandriva did), and installed itself, and eventually left me on the ubuntu desktop. I rebooted... but was given no ubuntu option to select (just the previous mandriva/xp boot options). Ubuntu did offer to import documents/settings for xp and mandriva (which i did not need), so it knew they were there - so why no boot option? How do I boot into ubuntu?
All the best,
Greg
Moving to ubiquity, since this problem seems to be an installer issue!
