Aloha,
I just installed Mythbuntu on my machine. I had Windows XP running, and then installed a separate hard drive where I then installed Mythbuntu. Mythbuntu boots perfectly fine, and I can see my XP installation in the Grub 2 menu, but when I try to load my XP partition, I get a "No such Device <UUID>" "No such partition" error. I've been reading forums all night, but can't seem to fix the problem. Can somebody give me a little help?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I ran the boot_info script, and here are the results:
