A quick guess would be that your XP installation is mucking with the

Dual booting is working as I mentioned in my initial post :) .It's
just that I'm getting these GRUB errors from time to time.This one
seems to have resolved itself ...after I booted into XP using a boot
disc , then rebooted , I got the GRUB menu , and booted successfully
into linux.Strange...but then again , the things we don't understand
always seem strange :)
