The grub appears as its booting up. It has a list of two kernels with 
recvoery underneath and a few other things, including the xp partition, 
that I tried getting help for months ago, but that didnt get anywhere 
either. I then learnt by accident, that this grub had a bug, which wasnt 
posted about until after I had done the partition, and screwed it up the 
first time, and tried again, giving myself two ubuntu partitions and an 
xp partition, if you added more than two things to a partition it 
screwed up the windows partiition. When I initially did the partition, 
it f******D up my xp, which was just installed by the people who 
repaired my pc. So I can only use Ubuntu on this pc. Screwed there.

The kernels are Ubuntu 2.6.32-22 and .21, Plus a couple of other things 
like I already posted about.

Sorry, I am too tired, been at this for way too long.
