I have seen this post.

But, this doesn't help me, sorry. I am pretty sure someone else has had my problem so could someone direct me to that post or tell me how I am messing things up.

Computer:
AMD 939 Athlon 64
Biostar 6100T Motherboard
Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit
1tb Seagate hard drive

I did the install from the 64 bit edition Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala iso file and when I restart is gives me the no root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu. Unfortunately I don't know if it means the window installation or the Ubuntu one. I also don't know exactly how to get to it if it isn't the windows one. Any suggestions would be nice because I also want a triple boot with Windows XP Professional SP 3 32 bit.

Windows combines its boots into one, if you want to directly boot each copy of windows see this:
To get each MS to have its own boot loader make a partition and set its boot flag on, then install the 2nd product in it. Multibooters, Pictures here worth 1000+ words
