Hello everybody.

I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 after installed Win XP using the asisted partition tool i guess that it did the partition job for me, everything worked great but when the grub started and I select my Windows XP partition it tells an error reading the HD.

Can somebody help me, how can i fix this problem?

My partitions:

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
