| 487665 | 2006-09-27 23:34:00 | that makes it interesting (restore cd) want was the file system on your xp os, ntfs or fat32 we may still have an option Is there any valuable data on the xp partition you must realize that this data is at risk no matter want you do from here on in. you could try recover your data by using a linux live CDROM and usb pen drive do you still want to dual boot with ubuntu and xp if so your suggestion of reinstall of ubuntu is proberly best |

| 487666 | 2006-09-28 00:10:00 | Just download a Win98 boot disk off the internet and do what beama suggested. All you need to do is repair the master boot record. If i remember correctly under DOS the command to repair the boot record is fdisk /mbr or something similar, you can easily find out the correct command with the DOS help function. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
