@bean: OK, thanks for the great explanation. I've made progress, too. I found a way to boot the Windows installation (with this nice application: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/hdm-personal/ ) without touching the MBR of the system.
Now, is there a way to clean the MBR inside Windows or the only way is to boot Win XP installation disc (because I found also some modified XP discs in which are included SATA drivers)? -- grub fails after running Windows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441941 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
