Hello:
Im pretty noob with Linux. I have a PC with 2 hard disks. In one hard disk i have WINDOWS XP installed. In the other hard disk I installed Ubuntu. This hard disk has 2 partitions. I installed ubuntu in one of these partitions ( I put in that partition the "/" character). Ubuntu is running fine now, but when I tried to load WIN XP I couldnt start it . Appears an error: " MBR ERROR 3, try load from floppy". I made some research and one possible solution is to apply the FIXMBR command from Windows Console. But if I do this I fear that Linux wont work anymore. What does that error mean? How do I fix it?
