Ah Friday the 13th eh?
I've had windows installed on my desktop for months now and decided to install Xubuntu onto drive #3 (more on drives later). The installation went fine, but when i try to boot into linux i get error code 2 and when i try to boot to windows i get error code 17.
My current machine has 5 drives (1,2,3,5,6) all SATA. Slot #4 has nothing for the time being. 5 and 6 are in a mirrored raid and disk 1 has Windows XP Pro. I tried installing Xubuntu (been told the same thing as ubuntu) onto disk #3 which i had previously wiped and removed partitions.
As soon as i saw the error codes i googled and found SuperGrubDisk, downloaded and riped that. Used it to semi fix the MBR to at least windows load up(more error codes when tried booting ubuntu some files are missing). Now when i load XP Pro i get errors from other programs that ACL.DLL is missing somehow, but that i'm pretty sure i can fix myself.
I'd still like to dual boot Xubuntu with XP Pro and the guides i've read so far say that basically what i did last night should've worked fine.
So what am i todo from here?
