Boot screen i Linux

Hello, I am having a problem. On my computer do I have linux and Windows XP. And for a moment ago, di I have to formate my windows. But the problem now is that when I start up the computer do I not gte the screen where I can choose linux our XP. I tried to rund the cd with recusemode (ubuntu) but I think there are somthing wrong on my APIC/AIPC (I dont rember how it are spelled) how can I turn that of? Becuse after a while to it only stop and will not continue. :S

When you format with windows it over writes the boot manager. All you need to do is to re-install your boot manager. If your using Ubuntu then its probably grub. Put in the your ubuntu CD and pick the option to install grub

Yes, I use a ubuntu cd. But you say that I schould innstall GRUB. Can I install that frome the cd in windows our do I have to boot up with UBUNTU. If so. What is the command. Because I do only have few options: Install Linux, Recuse MOde, System Security and some other I dont rember sorry. :( ;)

You need to go into RESCUE MODE to recove GRUB/LILO They are your Boot Loaders for Linux. They got over written by windows when you re-installed. so you can either repair it with your Ubuntu disc or reinstall Ubuntu.

Hope that helped.

It did help someway… Because I did know that I could do it in the recuse mode. But my problem is that when I open recuse mode. Do it stop after a while. And do not continue… Do sombody know what the problem is?

try using a low setting text mode installation instead of GUI installation. That might do the trick, since your video card is not detected yet. Hope that works.

Can you give me the text commando for that? ;)
