Bob,

Sorry about my earlier reply. I wasn't thinking!

I assume you have a USB port on the netbook, right? If so, might you be able
to make an emergency boot disk on it, using your Mac, in order to start the
netbook and restore/repair your boot file?

Hi Milt -

That is exactly what I am trying to do.

I have booted up my MacBook in Windows XP and am researching how to do
that.

I have found instructions on how to use UNetbootin to copy a version
of Ubuntu that will work on a flash drive to a flash drive.

It's a bit more complicated than I thought.

Should anyone else be interested and follow this thread, I'll post my
results here.

Thanks to all for your suggestions and input. Most welcome.
