Upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04

 The other day I upgraded my computer by installing the latest version of Ubuntu Linux. 11.04. My Computer is a dual boot system with Windows XP. The install went fine but for some reason my Grub stopped working. For those of you who do not know Grub is a program that allows you to select which operating system you wish to use each time you turn on your computer. I was very lucky that I also have a laptop because I ended up having to download Ubuntu on it and burn a disk and then fix my grub that way. I don't know if it's me or what but it seems that every time I upgrade Linux I have the same problem. So my advice to anyone else out there that is getting ready to upgrade is to make sure that you make a startup disk before you even start the upgrade.
