This is a HUGE bug, which has now rendered my machine completely unbootable/usable.
I have Windows XP on my IDE hard drive, which I now cannot boot into. And I have Ubuntu on my USB drive, which I also now cannot boot into. I am composing this message only by booting with my LiveCD. Would anybody who is a Linux *expert* please care to tell me how I can salvage my machine? Note: There are actually several bugs/issues involved here, including the fact that the Ubuntu install to my USB drive actually wrote GRUB to my *hard disk* Master Boot Record (which it never should have done!), so this is neither a small nor a simple issue. So if somebody could please help me salvage my machine from its currently unusable state, I would greatly appreciate it. P.S. Ironically, there is also a very serious Windows XP Recovery Console bug, which prevents me from simply restoring my MBR for Windows. (If a machine comes pre-installed with WinXP via Sysprep (e.g. Dell Computer), the local Administrator password is not recognized, which prevents entering Recovery Console.) So, in summary: I am now very screwed due to these multiple, major, overlapping bugs. Please help. Thanks. -- IDE Drive is Listed as SATA with Feisty Live CD and install causes GRUB to be improperly configured (Error 15 on boot) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107798 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
