Dear All,
I have Ubuntu8.10, on which I want to install XP. After the system boots through windows xp it is giving error that no harddrives found and asks to quit the setup. I am attaching the output of fdisk -lu. Finally I want a dual boot of both xp and ubuntu 8.10.
Please advice what is that missing in installing XP over ubuntu 8.10
