sda1:

    File system:       ntfs
    Boot sector type:  Windows XP
    Boot sector info:  No errors found in the Boot Parameter Block.
    Operating System:
    Boot files/dirs:   /boot.ini /ntldr /NTDETECT.COM

sda2:

    Boot sector info:  Grub 2 is installed in the boot sector of sdb1 and
                       looks at sector 4785455 of the same hard drive for
                       core.img, but core.img can not be found at this
                       location.
    Operating System:  Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
    Boot files/dirs:   /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/grub.cfg /etc/fstab
                       /boot/grub/core.img
