Hi guys,
So before I installed Ubuntu i did look up on how to do the dual boot setup. And followed each step by setup. I am quite sure I didn't touch C:, but did delete the D: while creating the partitions- for ubnutu primary, swap and logical shared for both windows and ubnutu contents. But after I finished the installation, I wasn't able to access or log into windows at all.
I know the partition is there, I am quite certain there is a way to get to working again like normal. But I don't want to be taking risk; it just that i dont want to reinstall Windows XP again since this was installed by school and i need to give in laptop in the same condition and setting for Windows XP Please guide me, how I can fix this problem. Thanks a lot in Advance! Kat =)
Here is the Summary output when i checked the partition by fdisk -l:
