I have heard that is has to do with the fact that I set Ubuntu up on my secondary hard disk and it really likes the first one. I have tried to remove it but being very hesitant because I can't find it at all on my Windows Explorer. As for the site being slow, I apologize for that. I noticed it like that at my work but thought it was my work connection but apparently not. I'll try to play around with some things and hopefully you won't have that issue again. What was your comment on the iTouch versus the iPhone? I'm curious to hear it. Thanks for reading. Shikhar - I am still working on getting it set up correctly.

You need to partition your disk right and need to have grub running on it which should give you the dual boot options. Ubuntu forums have a lot of help on this. check them out... You might also want to take a look at your site... seems to be very slow and locks down scrolling very often.. have experienced it with FF and IE... wanted to comment on your iTouch V IPhone blog as well.. but do not have the patience I assume getting a system to dual boot is not that simple.

Should be fixed now. I upgraded to WP 2.3 and forgot that I had renamed the theme I was using to default because it always resets itself. Should be fixed now.

But my problem I believe was that I installed it onto my 2nd hard disk rather than the first disk. I tried un-installing it last night and couldn't. I also tried to resize my C partition on my first disk as it takes the entire disk but somehow that didn't work either. I won't be able to work on it tonight (MUSE concert :) ) but I will hopefully get it working normally soon. Thanks for your help with this. Hey Daniel - It was really easy.

Do I understand correctly that everything went fine until you booted into XP and that made some change in your boot process, hosing up GRUB? That really sucks. I'll see if I can find something to help you. I’m glad Ubuntu was so easy for you to install.
