Oh dear it sounds like your grub boot loader is corrupt.
You can do the following to repair it.
- Boot from your installation CD choosing
try ubuntu without installing. - Open a terminal.
- enter the following commands:
BUT FIRST This assumes that your hard drive is showing as /dev/sda you may need to adjust. If you computer is under 10 years old and has only one hdd and your not running under a virtual machine then your hdd is probably lableled /dev/sda
These are the commands to reinstall the boot loader.
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
sudo reboot
