Boot me in the right direction please

[konkfunk]

Okay, i have partitioned my computer successfully to have windows and ubuntu. However, in my spoilt way i want to change to use slackware -- i have the disks and all is ready -- but -- when i come to run my computer with the disks, even though i set it to run the disk drive it ignores that and runs the grub with no option to run from the disk drive. have i missed something vital? can anyone lead me in the right direction or have the answer?
thanks

ubuntu is a linux distro.

try delting ubuntu, then installing slackware.

try a google search. even though i dont know the answer, i do now thanks to www.google.com http://www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t311409.html

note: on fixing the mbr, its probably quicker to edit it urself.

im not sure, but try changing the boot order in the bios, its probley booting from the harddrive first, you should find a option to change boot order
