I'm starting a new thread here because in the Absolute beginners I've got no reply yet. If I am wrong please delete this or the other thread.
I had WinXp installed on my primary Hdisk and Ubuntu 8.04 installed on a second disk. Boot loader was on the first disk.
I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 on the second disk and the (new) boot loader on the second disk. Now I can boot in Ubuntu from the second disk but not in WinXP. When I try to boot in WinXP from the second disk I get the message "Grub Error 13: "Invalid or unsupported executable format".
When I try to boot from the first disk I get Error 22.
Any help?
