I should explain a little more, I get the menu.lst bootloader screen 
fine, (now with about 15 different options,)
if I choose any of the Ubuntu versions, i end up with a terminal screen.
  If I choose the Windows option (XP Home) everything's good.
One of the Linux versions starts the GUI, but that process hangs, and 
it again reverts to the terminal screen.

Does that help??
