8.04 dual-boot w/ XP: - installation problems

[Alec Ross]

Hi,

I've just installed 8.04 from a DVD.  I wanted to get a dual boot with 
an existing XP installation.

During the (default) partitioning, I had an error reporting that some 
data could not be written back to disk.

I went back to the previous page, and re-tried.  This time no failure 
was reported.

However, on booting, and entering grub, the only OSs listed are Ubuntu:

    8.04 Kernel 2.6 ...
    "                      (recovery ...
    ", memtest86+


Is this showing that the earlier error has lost my XP partition?  What, 
if anything, might I do to attempt recovery?

TIA,

Alec
