Do you have a LiveCD? Ubuntu perhaps? Stick it in the CD/DVD drive and fire it up. Post the output of this command please.
Are you saying the you have Ubuntu and Windows installed already and now it won't boot after removing Windows? How did you remove Windows?Code:sudo fdisk -l

Right, but do you have a LiveCD you can use for the moment or download one? You need someway to boot the machine so we can find out what's going on.
