I have a Toshiba F30-114 laptop on which I want to have a dual boot Windows XP/xubuntu configuration.
The problem is that when I install Xubuntu as dual boot, Windows XP gives a blue screen of death for a second and then reboots in the begining of the windows boot sequence.
I can choose Safe Mode, Safe Mode With Networking, Safe Mode With Command Prompt, Boot With Last Good Configuration, and Start Windows Normally. But nomatter which one I choose it will result in a bsod following a reboot
(same as this description: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7858747).
The Xubuntu installation works fine.
I tried to remove the Xubuntu partition, which somehow also resulted in removing the XP installation. I then put the harddrive in an external case and used EASEUS Partition Recovery 5.0.1 on another machine which got back the Windows partition. Now Windows works again without any bsod.
I tried installing Xubuntu twice, with the same outcome.
Any ideas why this is happening, and what I can do to succesfully install a dual boot system?
