Hi,
I wonder if anybody could please advice me on a booting issue.
I have double hard disk computer, which I was using with
either Ubuntu
or Windows depending on the need of the moment.
I have been using the F10 option at start-up to select the Windows HD
when needed.
After upgrading to the latest version of Ubuntu, I cannot boot in
Windows
any more. While I was upgrading, "Grub" software opened options, and I
most likely selected the wrong ones.
Now when the computer boots, only does it in Ubuntu, even if I select
Windows option.
Even selecting the HD of Windows with the F10 option, still doesn't
boot on Windows, it just get stopped on a black screen.
For the grub version :
ada@ada-desktop:~$ dpkg -l grub\*
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
