So, I recently tried my first dual-boot with windows and Ubuntu. I choose to resize my existing partition. The installation went pretty quick after that. Before my first boot up of Ubuntu, I wanted to check if my Windows install was safe. This is what GRUB says when I try to boot:

A disk read error has occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del

What's going on here? I already have tired Super GRUB with no success. The same message appears.

Now here's the weird part. My entire Windows install is accessible within Ubuntu. It appears that all of my files are still intact.

What can I do?

Tell me, Did you resize the Windows Partition?

You may know that is not recommended, and you should of have left it alone...

This is what you can do, Take the Windows XP install Disk, See If you can't repair windows...(Even if it is alot of glass...)
