daphsta — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 00:37:50 +0800

I have just upgraded my mobo, proc and RAM.
However, I am still retaining my hdd which is loaded with UBuntu and XP.

Previously, Ubuntu is loaded before XP.
After the upgrade, I encountered the error below

Grub loading stage 1.5
Grub loading, please wait.....
error 21

Anyone have any idea of how do I change the MBR so that it loads XP first instead of GRUB?
PLease help.

No Display

Need some idea in diagnosing my problem.
I was using my PC halfway and it shut down abruptly with the motherboard alarm going off. Then I tried to turn it on again, there was no display at all to the monitor. However, all the other fans were running and HDD was running.
I tried to off and on again several times but to no avail.
So I decided to go get a new Motherboard, CPU, Memory hoping to replace the old motherboard to fix the problem.
After fixing it, still no display to the monitor. I have retained the casing, power supply and HDD.

My new processor is AMD X2 4000+.

Monitor is working fine because the LED is lit up but without display.

Any ideas are welcome.

Bacne, also known as back acne is quite common among young adults. It is a very annoying problem as well and I have yet to find a cure for it. Any ideas?
