I am having this really weird problem of booting my computer(Ubuntu 14.04,which I upgraded to from 12.04 just a day back)since it shows up a black screen every time, after I have chosen my OS(I have XP and Ubuntu ).So I found this site which addresses problems that seem similar.But it has these terms over here which I need some help in understanding.

No-modeset: What does `nomodeset` do
Dual-boot means having 2 operating systems on a machine where you, during the -boot- process, select 1 of these to start. Technically it refers to 2 systems but you can have something like 255 operating system on your system (and most would still call this a dual boot). With this method you will have 1 system active and 1 system dorment.
WUBI is a method of installing Ubuntu -inside- a Windows (but NOT in Windows ME and NOT in Windows 8). You boot into Windows and within Windows you can start Ubuntu. WUBI was created as a tool for people interested in Ubuntu but who did not want to mess with their partitions to get a dual-boot. (so it should not be used as a permanent method for using Ubuntu).
If you want to install Ubuntu inside Windows you can also use virtualBox, VMWare or another "virtual machine" software.
