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.
