Title: My Laptop doesnt work....
Post by: phenomenal on April 28, 2008, 11:47:05 PM
Well, i think i might have broke it, basically, i dual booted with ubuntu and xp, but ubuntu kept giving me problems and the internet didnt work on it, so i uninstalled it by deleting its partition via windows xp, but now grub keeps looking for itself when starting up, so I cant boot into windows and when I run recovery console using the xp disk, it says an error that the hard drives are not detected

Could anybody help me????
