The simple answer to that is you don''t have multiboot grub module correctly installed. Lots of things can cause that, but my guess is your installer (Wubi?) does not correctly setup the boot directory. It only copy the files it seems necessary, while it should copy all. The "normal" way to fix this is don''t use Wubi. Don''t boot from a loopback in ntfs. It''s a somewhat advanced setup, while you don''t have enough experience/knowledge to troubleshoot ntfs-loop-xen combination. Stick with normal installation methods, using partitions. Or use virtualbox if you just want to do some tests.> > Ok by now I pressed tab on grub command prompt to understand know what > commands are > there so there I did not see multiboot > as a command neither is multiboot2 > that probably is the reason it is failing. > >> - lsmod --> you should see ntfs there > Yes I do see it here > >> - ls --> you should see your disk and partition in the form of (hd0) >> (hd0,1) and so on) > Yes when I do > grub>ls > (loop0) (hd0) (hd0,5) (hd0,4) (hd0,2) (hd0,1) > >> - ls (hd0,2)/boot/grub/multiboot.modHere''s a basic question.

Resizing partition is easy and non destructive (you can use gparted from sysrescuecd or any other tools that support shrinking partitions). If you "do not want" to do the suggestions, then many people on this list will not want to help you. It''s as simple as that.>> methods, using partitions.
