Laptop Compaq Presario 2500 (quite vintage, manufactured in 2004).
HDD 160 GB, installed in 2009.
Running Windows XP SP3 without problems.
Installed Ubuntu 12.04 from live CD, requesting a dual-OS.
Requsted installer to left 140GB for Windows and create a 20GB partition for Ubuntu.
Installer reported installation successful.
After rebooting got the message:
Error: no such partition
Grub rescue >
Tried Boot-Repair.
Got a message that repair was successful.
After rebooting got the above message again.
Repair report: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5600203
The report contains several error messages, especially:
Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
The Windows partition, as well as the new Ubuntu partition are still present on the disk, but how to access them ?
