[Bug 19634] Re: after installing Ubuntu I can't access my rescue partition

[Magnus Dicander]

I can confirm this bug. My PC has a 160 GB sata harddisc patitioned inte
1 NTFS-partition (31 GB) which i use for microsoft xp and a Linux-
partition (130 GB) which i just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 . Before this
update, Ubuntu had no problem accessing the NTFS-partition. Now when i
try to access the NTFS-partition from Ubuntu, i get the error-message:
"Failed to mount the 31 GB volume. Adding read ACL for uid 1000
'/media/magnus' failed. Operation not supported. "

Title:
  after installing Ubuntu I can't access my rescue partition

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I received an IBM Thinkpad T43 laptop yesterday (see
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MatthewEast/LaptopTestingHoary) and have installed
  Ubuntu hoary on it. Before installing Ubuntu it was possible to access the IBM
  rescue partition and diagnostic utilities by pressing the blue Access IBM button
  at the startup screen. During the Ubuntu install I resized the Windows ntfs
  partition only (not the rescue partition). The installer added both the Windows
  partition and the rescue partition as Grub entries, the former as Windows XP and
  the latter as Windows 2000.

  The problem is this: when I press the blue Access IBM button at the startup
  screen, it does not boot into the rescue partition, instead it simply gives me
  the option to access the BIOS or boot normally. When I attempt to boot into the
  rescue partition from the Grub entry, I get a BSOD which I have copied into
  here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MatthewEast/LaptopTestingHoary/bsod

  My partition table is:
  Disk /dev/sda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes
  255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders
  Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
  /dev/sda1   *           1        1909    15334011    7  HPFS/NTFS
  /dev/sda2            4346        4864     4165560   12  Compaq diagnostics
  Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
  /dev/sda3            1910        4242    18739822+  83  Linux
  /dev/sda4            4243        4345      827347+   5  Extended
  /dev/sda5            4243        4345      827316   82  Linux swap / Solaris

  Partition table entries are not in disk order

  Hope this helps. Fortunately I have made rescue disks which I hope work, so I
  _should_ be able to test this again. For any more information, just ask :)
