I have downloaded both Kubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 8.10 and burned them onto DVDs. I've attempted to load each of them into Windows XP. (I only have one of them installed at a time.) Each seems to install as there is a 14.6 GB Ununtu folder on the C drive. When I reboot I get an option to run Windows XP or Kubuntu (or Ubuntu as the case may be). If I select Kubuntu all I get is the following:
Booting GRLDR...
On the next line there is a blinking cursor. However, nothing happens. The blinking cursor just keeps blinkiing but there's no indication that anything is running. I get the identical result using Ubuntu rather than Kubuntu.
I considered partitioning the C drive, but I was confused by the choices -- custom and manual. It wasn't clear to me just where the partition would be, whether it would wipe out Windows XP, and how difficult it would be to recover if I made a mistake.
What do I need to do to be able to open Kubuntu when it's installed within Windows XP?
Thank you.
