gmarcon - thankyou for this! I have an IBM T40 with a 40GB HDD and I was
about to give up.
For others: I installed Windows XP Pro, leaving about half the disk free
for Linux.
I installed Feisty Fawn from the Live/Install CD, using the "use largest
contiguous free space" partition option.
Following Ubuntu install, Windows boot failed as above.
I tried sudo fsck.vfat -r /dev/sda1
and I restored the boot sector from the backup (the only comment from
fsck.vfat). Still failed as above.
Then I found the advice from gmarcon, so:
On restart, F12 to get the BIOS Setup, then
Security -> Predesktop Area -> Disabled
F10 Save and Exit
... and Windows and Ubuntu both boot.
Great! Thanks.
