Welcome Aboli.Don't worry,we'll manage your problem in a way.Just give us more detailed info.Maybe something went wrong during your install,it's hapening.
Usually a reinstall might solve the problem,especially when you're a beginner.
But if you can boot in Ultimate Edition and you don't want to reinstall another option is to edit by hand the boot grub menu list:
Code: Select all
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

and then the usual edit it's always like this:
Code: Select all
title Windows XP/Vista or whatever your OS is
root (hd0,1) if you have the windows on the first partition from the first hdd
makeactive
chainloader +1

save and reboot then.Just keep us in touch.

Deate, once again you are the bringer of a bad tidings. You may want to have a look at this link to recover your Windows MBR and try installing Ultimate again.

I also lost xp on grub.. grub.conf is blank?

#
# examples
#
# title Windows 95/98/NT/2000
# root (hd0,0)
# makeactive
# chainloader +1
#
# title Linux
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro
#

#
# Put static boot stanzas before and/or after AUTOMAGIC KERNEL LIST

### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below

## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs

## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=UUID=698e5469-5a5a-4164-a382-d2871f9c18c6 ro

## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=698e5469-5a5a-4164-a382-d2871f9c18c6

## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
## alternative=false
# alternative=true

## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
## lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false

## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash

## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
