Hi,

go here:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1895

and download an ISO and burn it to disk, then reboot your PC with the disk in and carry out the repairs!!.

The other option is to go here:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1618

and select the 3rd option first and see if that helps!!.

Regards Wolfman :D

Before doing or downloading what WM says, try this fast and easy solution.

Open terminal and write
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Give your password and hit <enter>

From the file that will open find the line that says
GRUB DEFAULT="1"

and change it to
GRUB DEFAULT="0"


Save and exit.
Then write in terminal
Code:
sudo update-grub

Give your password and press <enter>.

After that, reboot and the first choise in the list should be highlighted.
If the above will not work, you can follow the instructions of WM.
