This meant choosing the option that said, "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer." Before I could proceed with the next steps, I had to figure out where I had installed GRUB during the Ubuntu installation. It said to boot from the Linux live CD (i.e., the one I installed from). I found a How-To Geek webpage with instructions on how to reinstall GRUB after a Windows reinstallation wipes it out. I rebooted, to watch more carefully and see if I had missed an option. On reboot, the machine again defaulted automatically to Windows. yes" and then running stages 1.5 and 1, and finally "SGD as succeeded!" I hit Enter again and then kept selecting SGD's "Go back" options until I got options to Quit and then "Reboot P.C." But no, it actually hadn't succeeded. It said it was running "setup (hd0)" and then "Checking if exists. Here, it said, Booting 'trying /grub/stage1'Īnd so forth. This resulted in a message that looked like one that had flashed past me when the SGD was booting. (The typographical error was theirs, not mine.) I hit Enter and then chose the recommended Automatically Install option.

Attempting to recreate that solution, I booted my copy of the SGD and selected Boot & Tools. I looked at my previous notes and saw that apparently I had used the Super Grub Disk (SGD) to solve this problem. This post describes the steps I took to solve that problem, and concludes with what I learned from the effort. I was in the process of working through my Ubuntu and Windows XP dual boot installation, when I encountered a problem that probably most dual-booters encounter: the periodic need to replace a confused WinXP installation with a fresh new one had incidentally messed up my GRUB bootloader, so that I could no longer choose to boot into Ubuntu Linux.
