  Hi!

  I recently got a laptop with a pre-installed vista. Since the partitioning was super-stupid as usual, I used gparted to resize the windows partition to create space for an ubuntu installation. The repartitioning and ubuntu installation went smoothly. Ubuntu started up fine too. I switched to Vista and that was running fine too so I thought things were fine.

  However, the next time I booted the system, I got Grub error 22. I used the Ubuntu live cd to boot the system. fdisk revealed that the new ubuntu partitions were missing.

  Is this a known issue? Is vista known to overwrite ext3 partitions or something? Is there any way to avoid this?

  Just be sure that Vista is installed before you install UBUNTU.

  This should give you a boot menu that has both Vista and UBUNTU.

  It sounds as though you have a Dell computer.
