I just installed Ubuntu (Hardy Heron) for the first time yesterday and it seemed to go OK except:-
dual boot is important to me as I need Windows XP for my work, so one of the first things I tried was quitting, booting into Windows, quitting, booting ubuntu etc. etc. When I tried hibernating Windows (something I do often when in the middle of stuff as it leaves stuff set up on the desktop. It's also way faster) GRUB failed to load with Error 17.
My question is; was it my hibernating windows which trashed GRUB, or just coincidence? I am a little wary of experimenting too much as it was a real pig to fix.
