Thanks for the reply guys.
gold_finger you definitely seemed to have grasped the scope of my problem and the set up of my computer.
I'm not sure what my HWE environment is, however, I did install the hardware support update to Ubuntu 12.04 and haven't do so to my Linux 1.0.8.
I go into the recovery menu to boot into Ubuntu ttyl but am unable to startx from when I've prior tried. I could try sudo updating the grub (as I thought boot repair would do this automatically), but I guess it's worth trying again just to make sense of the situation.
Ok, so upon my last response I updated the grub it responds saying that I have LL 1.0.8, Ubuntu 12.04 and WinXP and a couple extra updates I do believe, as expected.
I went into the non-GUI interface and was unable to run startx but discovered there is a cache file read/write error of such and that HWE stack is valid until April 2017.
