That's probably https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/153702 (For Dell Inspiron 530, about SATA drive) Suggested *workaround* is to: 1. While turning on the computer press F2 at the splash screen to enter Setup (BIOS) 2. Select Integrated Peripherals 3. Go to 'SATA Mode', press Enter 4. Change to RAID, accept the change 5. Press F10 to save & reboot But be warn that it is almost sure that Vista won't be able to boot with that option in the BIOS!
