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
