On a brand new Dell XPS 64 bit Laptop with Windows home premium pre-installed, I have installed Ubuntu 11.10. I have downloaded the image from Ubuntu.com and burned that on a CD. Using this CD I have installed it on my machine.

I have chosen the dual boot option. Everything went well and I got an option for restart. While restarting it has directly gone to Windows. I could not see the disk partition of Ubuntu on Windows.

Then I tried to boot from the CD, "One Line Iso Linex" appeared on the screen and the system froze. I tried several times, but the result is same Can some body help me to overcome this problem?

Try this:

Boot into the Ubuntu Live CD.

Now, open a Terminal.

First, we'll identify which is the Ubuntu partition:

sudo fdisk -l

Next, we'll mount it (replace sda2 with the appropriate partition number):

sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

And finally, we'll install Grub to the hard disk (replace sda with the appropriate hard drive identifier):

sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

Now, reboot, and run this command in a Terminal when you get to the Ubuntu desktop:

sudo update-grub

This should detect your Windows installation and automatically add it to the Grub menu.
