I really need some urgent help here.
I was attempting to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto my HDD which already has SL & Win7 installed. I installed SL first and then Win7 later using EasyBCD.
Tonight I wanted to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto another partition, however I decided against it as it would mess with EFI & Gpart.
This is how far I got with the process before deciding against it:
I used OS X Disk Utility to create a free partition.
Booted into Ubuntu & ran the installation choosing Advanced so I can pick the correct partition.
I choose EXT4 format and picked the root for it as SDA05 as the partition.
However Ubuntu wouldn't let me, I'm guessing because it wanted to install the boot loader to root.
So I backed out of the Live CD & restarted my pc. Now I'm stuck at "Loading Operating System...".
It never moves past this screen & when I use Tony's iBoot disc, I can use EFI to select my Win7 & OS X installs, but neither boot.
Please help!!
