Here's what I did:
1] Installed WinXP SP2 on an NTFS partition( E: )
2] Created another NTFS partition( F: )
3] Installed Ubuntu using Wubi on F:
4] Deleted an existing FreeDOS FAT partition( C: )
5] Attempted to install Ubuntu, this time without Wubi, to the free space that was created from deleting C:
6] Installation fails (ERRNO5 - Input/Output error)
Now I can't boot into either WinXP or the Wubi installed Ubuntu. The BIOS tells me there aren't any disks present. I'll take care of the ERRNO5 issue some other time; right now, priority is booting into Ubuntu or Windows.
How can I boot into either Windows or Ubuntu? I used grub on Live-CD whenever I broke the boot of my non-Wubi Ubuntu install on my desktop. Afaik, Wubi-installs are bootable images. Can Live-CD touch data inside Wubi installs?
Here's the machine with the problem: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/hk/en/ho/WF06a/1090709-1116637-1123071-1123071-1123071-80598788.html
