I am trying to dual boot xp and kubuntu. I booted up Kubuntu from the cd and started the install. I installed it on my extra harddrive and it seemed that everything went ok. I rebooted my computer and it was starting up and said Grub stage 1.5 then it said error 21. Now I can't seem to get back to XP what can I do?

Re: Installation Problems
You should be able to restore the MBR to boot into XP using a windows 98 boot disk (they can be downloaded from the web onto a floppy). At the boot prompt, type "fdisk/mbr".
Without a floppy you need to use the XP installation CD, reboot and select recovery console at the prompt by choosing to repair the installation. Type "fixmbr".
