Bug description:
  I have been using Ubuntu 10.04 on a dual boot with Winsoz XP PRO and last week upgraded to 11.10. This worked until I got a virus in an email. Then the bootloader was kaput. So I removed it thru windows add/remove function. Then I tried to install Mint 13 Maya. This screwed up  my H drive and did not provide a dual boot screen on startup. So then I got rid of that and downloaded Ubuntu 12.04.1LTS and tried to install it. It did the same thing that Mint did. And no dual boot screen. Knowing that Ubuntu 10.04LTS worked, I re-installed that and did the upgrade to 12.04.1LTS. The install came up with uncountable errors and the debug information that is supposed to be added to this. I'm not very savy on Ubuntu. I have been using Windows XP-PRO since Windows 98SE and before that DOS. I have an AMD 64 bit processor but am using a 32bit operating Windows and 32bit Ubuntu.
  I was dissapointed when Ubuntu 12.04.1 tried to install on drive H without asking me where I wanted it. My H drive is renameed because of some external USB drives that i use for backup and can't be anything other than E, or F. I have a G drive and it didn't ask me if I wanted it there either. The 12.04.1 LTS did not come up with any errors when it installed on H but there was no dual boot so I could not get to it.
