right i have ubuntu 8.04 dual botted with windows. Up untill now ubuntu has been booting fine, but when i click it from the boot menu it comes up with this weird thing, something about commands, it has a small bit of writing and a part of it is to type 'help' for more commands.

So WTF is going on, and how the hell do i get rid of it.

What does it exactly say?

Does it say anything about "Debian"?

I hate dual booting, if you REALLY want windows on your computer use virtual box (http://www.virtualbox.org) or VMWare. But, if you want to continue dual booting so you get the full experience of both of the Operating Systems, continue doing so. However, you will encounter problems most likely.

I've been dual-booting XP Pro and Kubuntu 7.10 for many months now without any issues.
