Wow, thank you so much for the info on fixing the boot problem no floppy etc.

I followed the instructions exactly EXCEPT, my lines were 173, 174 and 175. The edit of file grub-mkconfig_lib using the terminal command: sudo gedit /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib worked flawlessly. I found it easier to comment out the lines with "#" instead of just deleting them. Immediately after saving the file with the changes I used the next and final terminal command: sudo update-grub

I then did a little dance around the laptop on the floor, closed my eyes and rebooted. However I did save all my saved docs to a flash drive...just in case.

The result was a perfect boot right on through.

Thanks to everyone who contributed that information. Ubuntu is "The Key to Being Free" and thank you to the developers and everyone else that had anything to do with it. I've been looking for a way out of windows for as long as I can remember. Ubuntu's most recent release made it easy to do.

Thanks again,

Dennis
