Alright, this isn't necessarily Ubuntu per se it is based off of Ubuntu.

Today, I installed Linux Mint with the GRUB bootloader in an attempt to dual boot. I have two hard drives, one 80GB [full NTFS partition for my XP install] and one 200GB drive [two partitions, one around 60GB and the other using 140GB]. I installed Linux Mint on to the second drive on the larger partition, dividing it into a 100GB partition and a 40GB partition (for linux). I finished the install, restarted, and got a big fat Error 5 upon trying to boot.

Any ideas?
