But another problem ocurred and I have been trying to solve it with no success the whole week.
I am installing UBUNTU (EDUbuntu) in a partition of a drive of 250G (sda2 / and sda5 swap (2G)).
In sda1 there is Window$ wich was installed first with success. To install Window$ XP I did a partition of 100G (oddly the windows partition tool only sees a disc of 130G)
To install Edubuntu i did a parttion of 143 G to root and 2G to swap (linux sees all the 250 G of the disk).
Edubutu works perfectly soomthly and nicely (it is indeed a beautiful environment) but when I try to boot from Window$ frm GRUB it gives me a fatal error on that caractheristic blue screen "a la Window$" and doesn't boot. I did the same procedure twice ( i.e. i installed the machine completely from the zero - both OSystems - twice) and always the same problem. I did a boot from the Window$ CD and did a repair of the MBR. But it doesn't work. Window$ is destroyed in some way.
But my question here is not about Window$ but Edubuntu, because the problem is when i install it:
Why does this happens? I have installed allready many debian machines sharing disks and GRUB works perfectly and debian installation doesn't destroy the other OS. When I boot this machine grub runs and I get the menu with the right options. But when I choose Window$ i get the fatal error saying that I should reboot the machine.
I supose that edubutntu destroyes something on Window$ that doesn't have anything to do with the MBR. It is a guess, i do not know.
Anyone having (has) the same problem?
Ideas? I really need that Window$, it is a requirement for the machine. If I could choose...it would be a 100% Ubuntu/Edubuntu machine.
Thank you, Mariana
