and I am into ubuntu but my windows xp will not boot it says missing windows root\system32\hal.dll
but ubuntu does load and work looking on another thread I saw somebody typed this in the terminal
sudo update-grub2
I did this and it reinstalled grub 2 but I am afraid to reboot
also I mounted my windows drive in ubuntu checked that directory windows root\system32\hal.dll and that file is there.
Thank you for any help
since I have used ubuntu 9.10 I have not used xp so I do not care if it works but since ubuntu is installed in it and it disintegrates will that not take ubuntu with it?
Forgive me I am new to ubuntu 9.10 this is my problem. I did my updates and the computer got stuck at sh:grub> prompt now I typed this in
sh:grub>insmod ntfs disks/root. disk 2.6.31- 14-generic root=/dev/sda1 loop=/ubuntu/ disks/root. disk ro img-2.6. 31-14-generic
sh:grub>set root=(hd0,1)
sh:grub>loopback loop0 /ubuntu/
sh:grub>set root=(loop0)
sh:grub>linux /boot/vmlinuz-
sh:grub>initrd /boot/initrd.
sh:grub>boot
