Public bug reported:
This might sound a bit confusing. I apologize beforehand.
I had an annoying Windows Starter as an OS to a new laptop so I installed
Ubuntu 12.04. Then I found I could install a valid Windows XP Professional but
when I did that the bootloader stopped working. I tried installing Ubuntu 12
again, this time on a different partition so as not to overwrite all my
documents and saved data in the earlier installation, but the bootloader failed
to be installed properly at the end of the process.
I am a total novice at Ubuntu/Linux, but I really want to move away from
Windows. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
