    Grub doesnt run on boot

    I installed Kubunutu Dapper 6.06 on my HP ze2000 notebook with XP on the 1st partition.

    Grub doesnt seem to have installed it just boots into Kubuntu write away.
    Grub was installed to the MBR and the install prompt detected XP fine.

    Please Help. While I hate XP I have no choice but to use it for school.

    this is most likely because you don't have a timeout section add this to your /boot/grub/menu.lst (sometimes called grub.conf)

    Code:
    default 0
    timeout 30
    All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer. All New Users Read This!!! If you have a grub problem please look at GRUB MANUAL

    no problem glad I could help.

    I don't know if corewizard implemented it yet but if there is button available to you to have this thread marked as SOLVED please do so, so if others have the same problem they have an easier reference point.
