GRUB config

[ReyCazador]

I currently have Kubuntu 7.10 on my notebook. I'll be installing XP(I need it for work), since I'm installing it after installing Kubuntu. Will that mess up my GRUB? If so how can I set it right? Thanks

Yes, XP will overwrite mbr => no more GRUB start.

Install or Re-install GRUB

Case 2: You can't boot into any of your Linux OSs.
First, you need to get a grub prompt (grub>) somehow. Your two choices are: (1) Use a rescue disk, like Super Grub Disk, from which you can boot into your OS, or press the “c” key to get a GRUB prompt. Or, (2) Use your Live Kubuntu CD. Let's assume (2) here. Put your Live CD in the CD tray, re-boot your PC, startup your Live Kubuntu. Now get a terminal (Konsole) and proceed exactly as in Case 1, starting with “sudo grub” to get a GRUB prompt.
