Hi guys,
when ever i try to boot ubutnu it it ask me " Enter Level" what does that mean what i ahve to enter???

I guess it's asking for runlevel. I guess 2 should do. Read this *www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html

That's right. You have enter 2.

For eg.,

Enter level : 2

it means i have to enter 0-6 levels???

Just 2.
0-6 are different levels. They've been explained in the link I had given earlier.

but its not booting aftar pressing 2???

Is this the exact message you are getting. And can you give what is the line before this line?

it was giving me a massage " there is no process in this run level"..................but now i have another problem......i reinstalled ubutu on that partition but now when i try to boot fc5 it boot ubutntu now what to do?.....when i hit enetre to boot fedora on top it says booting fedora.. but finly it boots ubuntu.

your partition number may have changed.its a bit tricky to find root"/" partns of each distro.but u can find using

Code:

~#fdisk  -l

.try it and post.also check your fedora's /etc/fstab for correct "/" entry.

now i want upgrade my fc5 to fc6 it is possible that without loosing my data i can upgrade....... and also one thing my fc5 was not booting before so i have to first repair it or i can directly access my partition and restor my data?

if u have fc6 dvd/cds just boot it,fc6 will upgrade ur fedora 5 install and u will get fedora 6 w/o any data loss.

ok thanks dude for giving reply so early. ill do that
