Re: Totally new problem- never seen b4

Can you post the entire menu.lst so we can see it? Just copy and paste?

"Can u give me the cmds for konsole to alter this menu.lst or tell me how to get permission to change this file in Konqueror"

Sorry, somehow I missed your post (above) where you posted that question.

At Konsole
kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst
will open menu.lst in the text editor Kate, as root. After making edits, then File > Save and File > Quit.

I'm not sure what's going on with Error 25 on hd0 ... (just saw that now, as I said).

On this: find /boot/grub/menu.lst, make sure you type that and not copy/paste it from OOo Writer or from a text editor (as sometimes that doesn't work, believe it or not!).

Thanks QMike
for trying to help.
I did bite the dust, but only took a small taste.
I am retiring the dual boot problem for now.
I have installed Xubuntu 7.10 on a separate HD and am running it alone.
I have connected to the internet with it and have been playing around with setting it up.
I have also installed wine and have access to my WinXP stuff thru it and ntfs-3g.
I may still go to Kubuntu in the future, afterall it is only a HD away.
Thanks again.
