Slight problem after my first ever install

Hi all, i hope this isnt a common error that has already been covered a million times but i could seem to find it anywhere,

Basically im running XP on my primary hard drive and just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my secondary hard drive last night. Runs fine, looks great, and im having fun messing around with it. The only problem is as the system is booting up.

After selecting Ubuntu as the OS to load, i get this error:

"Unrecognised partion table for drive 82"
The entire error is a few lines long, but that is the main part of it. This then disappears (hense the reason i havent written out the full error) and ubuntu loads up normally.

This error isnt critical obviously, but id rather have it fully working, can anyone help?

Thanks in advance, Josh.

Is it a native install, or did you use Wubi?

Wubi, I formatted my secondary hard drive while in windows, downloaded the installer while in windows, and installed it while in windows, reset the pc and then booted into ubuntu

Reading some other forum posts, it seems to be related to Wubi. I haven't any experience with it so someone more knowlegable should be able to help more.

In my eyes since it's not really hindering you, other than making you want a few extra seconds, I'd just let it be.
