I installed ubuntu in a dual-boot configuration alongside windows XP. The installation went fine, and after messing around with ubuntu for a while, I tried going back to my windows partition and I get a BSOD after the black windows loading screen.
When I put in the windows recovery CD it says it can't find any hard drives, although gparted recognizes the hard drive and all partitions within it. Here is my fdisk -l output
