Had some time today to collect information on this.
Booted from the same LiveCD as before (31 march 2010) into the 'try without
installing' desktop.
Mounted both NTFS partitions, as they are now in use for XP (system and data).
These partitions were made from this CD as well, but the installer crashed on
trying to write the filesystems. I could use them for setting up XP but they
had to be formatted.
Anyway, here's the requested output from 'fdisk -l -u /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiab':
==========

Remarks:
part 1 is the WinXP boot partition (primary, NTFS)
part 2 will be containing Linux (primary)
part 5: Ubuntu / (extended / logical, ext4)
part 6: Ubuntu /home (extended / logical, ext4)
part 7: Ubuntu swap (extended / logical, swap)
part 3 is used as DATA for both OS's (primary, NTFS)
I'm attaching this output as a file, and adding mtab as well.
Hope it helps, I really want to install Lucid on this machine.
cheers
