I was having some serious problems with my Windows 7 partition, so I elected to undergo a system restore. Beforehand, I was receiving the following message when attempting to boot into Ubuntu 13.03 from GRUB:
ERROR : Attempted to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'. Boot Repair suggested that I create a boot partition. After the partition was created, I no longer received this message, and I haven't had any problems with my touchpad working upon startup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208270 Title: [Dell Inspiron 15R 5520] Touchpad intermittently does not work upon startup Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Running Ubuntu 13.04 on Dell Inspiron 15R.
