It affected my old emachine that has a replaced drive that was running XP before the partition and installation attempt. This is the first emachine, a 900 Mhz screamer. I tried to install over and it wanted to add an additional ubuntu 9.1 installation. Another oddity is that when it allocated itself hard disk space, it left 20% or so as free space, not belonging to either the previously installed XP or the new Ubuntu 9.1 . So then I had XP, Ubuntu, Swap space, and free space on the partitioning screen, and it said that I had several OS's ? I don't know if it was counting the free space or the swap space as an operating system. I chose the manual (advanced) partition and played around and deleted the ubuntu and swap partitions turning them into free space so that I could repeat the installation without creating multiple installations of ubuntu 9.1 but then it said I had not indicated some sort of boot info. Also, it told me to create a swap partition which I figured out how to do. I chose the ubuntu partition and made it primary. That solved the boot objection. Then I had to choose a mount point for the drives. I guessed dos for the windows and / for the ubuntu. It did not work. I am surprised that this error occurs. The file systems are well known and rather simple. However, the windows is booting now, it did not at first. Imagine, after all the hype, after sending to England to get authentic ubuntu 9.1 disks, it comes with a bug, and not only does not install, it disables the working XP operating system. What a time waster. They should change the name from Ubuntu to . Of the many attempts and hours spent trying to install it, including hardware upgrades, I've rarely had success with it.
