The message during boot (if you are lucky enough to see it) is:
-----------------
Windows is hibernated, refused to mount
NTFS partition is hibernated {blah, blah}
{several lines of more blah about mounting hibernated partitions}
An error occurred while mounting /media/winxp
press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
-----------------
Pressing 's' (*and then return* - which incidentally is not specified in
the message) continues with normal boot with no adverse consequences
except that the NTFS partition is not mounted.
There is no serious reason why 's' couldn't default after 60 seconds. If
Ubuntu is serious about winning over windows users, then functioning
properly in dual-boot situations is a *MUST* work scenario. Failing to
boot Ubuntu because windows is hibernated on another partition somewhere
is a show-stopper.
