Hi I have a problem with my computer not dual booting. I had windows xp installed and then I installed unbuntu linux. I don't know what went wrong but know when I start my computer it will go dirrectly and boot in linux. It won't give an option to choose windows or linux.
I did not reformat the hard drive nor delete windows. I partitioned my hard drive to install linux. Can some tell me what went worng thanks.

Interesting. I would try reinstalling Linux again. It should have installed GRUB as your bootloader so you can choose your OS. Hopefully PSI will see this topic soon. He's the resident Linux guru and he'll be a lot more help than me

Just make sure to do anything like reinstall Windows after Linux as Windows will overwrite the bootloader so you can't get to Linux.
