Any ideas would be appreciated
looks like windows XP and/or linux installed boot code into the disks' MBR. this is not needed as long as all OSes have their boot code on their partition (recommended, and seems to work). so just clear the MBRs' boot codes by running:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=440 count=1
from within OSX or Ubuntu.

no. yes.
