Hi all,
After several attempts to install Kubuntu 9.04 in a dual-boot with Windows XP, I am now officially stuck :(
I installed Kubuntu on my first SATA disk with that disk selected as the
first one to boot in the BIOS. Windows XP was installed on the only PATA
disk. Kubuntu boots fine, but when I select Windows XP, I get Error 22: No
such partition.
I can boot Windows XP, but only by selecting the PATA disk as the first one
to boot in the BIOS. Not the most practical solution, because I have to edit
the BIOS again if I want to boot Kubuntu of course.
With the help of other posts on this forum, including this one (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6638295),
I have tried to troubleshoot the problem, but unfortunately to no avail.
I have attached the menu.lst file, which shows Windows XP is on (hd4,0). That looks correct to me because there are four SATA disks and the PATA one is therefore the fifth. The attached device.map confirms this.
Using Boot Info Script I have generated a results.txt file which is also attached to this post.
I hope someone can help me solve this. Thanks very much in advance.
