Hi,
I have a dual boot vista/xp on my laptop and I tried to install ubuntu, 8.04.1 desktop version, on a 40 GB free partition.
I started with the alternate version, but I wasn't able to boot from it.
Then I used the live CD version and I did six new partitions, I managed to complete the installation.
After the first reboot it apparently worked and everything was fine and working, but at the second reboot I got 'error 22' from grub. :o
I have checked the state of the new partitions from vista and xp and these partitions don't exist anymore (!!!), now there is a unique 40GB free partition.
I also found out that they don't exist by using GParted from the Live CD.
Now I will try to install an older version of ubuntu, and I will see, but my question is
what is going on??? :-k
Thank you for any help
Cheers
