Well I too installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my system, but I have some problems.First,I have XP & Ubuntu installed on one drive and Win 7 on another drive. Now when i try to enter Ubuntu, everytime i need to insert the CD!! I think i need to install the Grub Boot loader. Can you tell me how to do that, so Sasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418787434469614003noreply@blogger.com
