Alessandro,
Thanks for your response and suggestions.
While searching the Internet I discovered and installed startup manager, 
this enabled me to dual boot from Windows 7. I was then able to do a 
clean install of Windows 7. Never again will I attempt to run a dual 
boot system.

Regards,
Roy Freeman

Title:
  error: no such device: a6e9ac82-12c2-4c83-ac35-b7b29d8cc206

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I removed the printer from the computer.
  Re-installed Ubuntu using: Erase Ubuntu 11.10 and reinstall. (Warning: This will delete all your Ubuntu programs, documents, photos, music, and any other files). It obviously did not.
  Restarted computer, and the above message appeared.
  I once again re-installed, using Upgrade Ubuntu 11.10 to 11.10. (Documents, music, and other personal files will be kept.
  Installed software will be kept where possible. System- wide settings will be cleared).
  Restarted computer, to be confronted once again with, error: no such device: a6e9ac82-12c2-4c83-ac35-b7b29d8cc206.
  The computer will still only operate when the Cd is inserted and in Try Ubuntu mode.
  I have no idea if my anti-virus software software is working.
  THIS IS BEYOND A JOKE!!!!
