I’m dual booting Ubuntu 7.10 and I just reinstalled Windows XP. GRUB is gone, so it only lets me boot into XP. It also won’t let me view my linux partion on XP, just the windows partion. when I boot the live CD, I can still see all my files, but I can’t edit them because I don’t have permissions. any help?

Ok, so we have a Dell Optiplex running Ubuntu and Windows on two Hard Drives (XP on one, Linux on the Other) Well, it was working beautifully, well, me and my friend decided that we were gonna try to make our own linux using Linux From Scratch, well, that wiped the Hard Drive (the Linux one) so we gave up after having difficulties, well, now when we try to boot into windows, we get the Grub screen, and it says “GRUB Loading stage1.5.
“GRUB loading, please wait…..
Error 15
then nothing happens, we don’t have a Ubuntu live CD anymore, and i think i can get a windows recovery CD, we also have a USB stick running Slax Linux that we could use, how do we fix this problem?
I actually found a windows 98 recovery cd lying around and got it fixed using the fixmbr command, thanks though

I’m trying to install Linux Ubuntu on my computer (which is an Acer Aspire 5040) but everytime I try to set the boot priority when I start my computer up, it turns itself off and I have to plug my external hard drive in for it to boot Windows XP
Last time I tried it, it came up with a message saying “there is not enough virtual memory.” Or something like that and I’m not actually too sure what that means to be honest lol.
I’m trying to boot Linux from a live CD but.. Y’know, it’s not working.
Any suggestions?
xx
I have 512mb of RAM so I don’t think it’s that..
But thanks anyway

I basically want to know how to install it on the HD and get rid of Windows. I can already boot Puppy live from the CD but I want it completely stored on the HD now.
10 points for the best answer. I need your help!
Thanks Don Ho but I DO NOT WANT TO BOOT FROM CD like I mentioned before. I want to know how to install it on my hard drive.

Is it possible to get a Live CD/DVD of Windows Vista as you can with Linux distributions?
