I rebooted, and selected the entry for Ubuntu from Windows boot loader. I was greeted with GRUB menu. There was only one entry for Ubuntu which was for memtest option.
My previous post (nearly) ended as above. In that post, I mentioned that I was able to overcome the problem, read all the details in this post.
Installing Ubuntu 8.10 Dual Boot with XP

My previous attempt wasn’t so pleasant. Not only did I not get a working Ubuntu system, but in attempt, I also trashed my Windows Partition. Back then, ubuntu was just up and coming Linux distro. Eventually, I realised that I should have used Alternate CD, rather than attempting to install from Live CD.
Flash forward to Jan 2009. Four years later, things have changed, Ubuntu has matured a lot. Will my attempt to dual boot Ubuntu with Windows XP succeed ?

In my last post on topic ended by showing you how you can install Lightning plugin as well as Provider for Google Calendar plugin.
It seems Lightning plugin is broken with Thunderbird 3.0 Beta 1. Read about it here. In this post, I show you a way around, and more about Accessing Google Calendar right from your Thunderbird.
