    Unusual. Did the loader ask you for a way to load the Ubuntu and did 
you select a dual boot? Did the loader appear to load alot of files 
taking like 15 minutes?

    There are a lot of possible problems so I suggest you try to load it 
again and be careful to answer questions about Grub and loading the 
software.
