Summary changed to:
    After using kubuntu live, NTDetect fails and no longer able to boot from hard drive
Description changed to:
    After I used the Kubuntu Live CD on my laptop, the next time I
    attempted to boot the computer without the Live CD (booting as I
    always do, from the main hard drive that has WinXP installed), the
    boot process failed immediately stating "NTDETECT failed".  On
    subsequent boots, the same statement displays and I am unable to
    boot my computer without the Live CD now.

    This seems a very big deal, considering a Live CD should definitely
    not mess with the MBR or affect subsequent booting of the computer
    after it is no longer in use.

    Using a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop and the Kubuntu Live daily build
    CD from 3/14/2006.
