    Can't Boot to KuBuntu in dual boot setup with XP

    This is my first try at installing Kubuntu, I followed the instructions I received when downloading Kubuntu 8.10, resized the partition and it seemed to install but I do not receive a boot menu when I restart, it just goes straight to Windows. Searched the knowledge base, can't find applicable posts, any suggestions?

    If you didn't follow The definitive dual-booting guide: Linux, Vista and XP step-by-step you should read though it and compare to the process you took. This guide works.

      or, try re-installing GRUB using:

        Do you have more than one HDD? Are you installing Kubuntu to the same drive as Windows?
