                          home                  100GB

                      home                     23GB(25.1GB)

                      D:/                        ---------

when computeris switched on , it shows it shows as follows:
suse linux 10
suse linux 10( recovery mode)
ubuntu 8.04kernel 2.6.24-1
6-generic
ubuntu 8.04kernel 2.6.24-16-generic( recovery mode)

we use suse linux OS( KDE desktop )
one time when we update online it asks to reboot .
when we reboot the menu it  shows the above said.and it goes automatically (takes about 10 seconds) into the first one(suse linux )here we expected to see as usual desktop KDE).But it shows 
Error 15:file not found 
press any key to continue.
so we come back (by pressing any key) and use  ubuntu 8.04 kernel 2.6.24-16 generic(gnome desktop) 
 
in ubuntu  , when updating or using add or remove program or package manager,it shows an error message as follows:
E:_dpkg was interrupted you must manually run  dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem.
E:_cache  open ()failed,
please report.

and we did that manully using terminal finally it shows the following 
 a new version of /boot/grub/menu.lst is available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified
what would you like to do about menu lst.?
-install the package maintainer's version
-keep the local version currently installed
-show the differences between the versions
-show a side by side difference between the versions
-show a 3-way difference between available versions
-do a 3-way merge between available versions(experimental)
-start a new shell to examine the situation
                            OK
 we choose the first one (install the package maintainer's version) and press enter key.when rebooting or restarting the computer it shows menu as follows:
 
ubuntu 8.04.1,kernel-2.6.24-22-generic
ubuntu 8.04.1,kernel-2.6.24-22-generic(recovery mode)
ubuntu 8.04.1,kernel-2.6.24-21-generic
ubuntu 8.04.1,kernel-2.6.24-21-generic(recovery mode)
ubuntu 8.04.1,kernel-2.6.24-19-generic
ubuntu 8.04.1,kernel-2.6.24-19-generic(recovery mode)
ubuntu 8.04.1,kernel-2.6.24-16-generic
ubuntu 8.04.1,kernel-2.6.24-16-generic(recovery mode)
ubuntu 8.04.1,memtest86+

we expect to see the suse linux OS but it is not seen.(how to install
suse linux  again it will not affect the exixsting ubuntu 8.04.1(we do
not have CD of ubuntu 8.04) please help i provide more information .
