[ubuntu-uk] Dual Boot problems

[Robin Hall]

Many thanks for your reply.

I called up the website you recommended, but ran into trouble when I typed 
instructions into a terminal.becauseall I could could get was: "error 27: 
unrecognised command".  So I through in the towel and reinstalled Ubuntu. 
So now I have two versions of Ubuntu and Windows XP on my hard drive!  but 
all of them accessible.  So I now have a certin amoung of sorting out to do.
