Actually, the password I tried was that one (the one I always had even before the reinstallation of windows) But anyways isn't Ubuntu supposed to start without prompting for a password when you start it from the cd?... maybe I should try writing a new CD?

Hi , because I reinstalled Windows, I can't boot Ubuntu anymore, I would like to reinstall it but here is the problem: I'd have to boot my comp. with the Ubuntu CD in order to install the OS but I get a password prompt at the start. I used to be able to boot ubuntu from the CD but now I cant, and I dont have any ideas of what has changed since then. I tried the password I used to boot ubuntu from the HD but it didn't work. Anyone has any ideas of what could have happened?

I have 2 HD. One has Windows on it and the other has Ubuntu. It worked all fine until I reinstalled Windows. Now when I start my computer I don't get the prompt I used to get asking me what OS to boot. It probably has to do with a boot.ini file does it. Any help appreciated. I have also a second problem: since Ubuntu has been installed and one of the disk partitioned by it, I can no longer see that disk in windows. Is there any way to configure the partition in order to be able to use the HD in windows (I can use both HDs in linux but only one in windows). Thanks for any help Emile
