[Bug 579759] Re: Dual boot not working unable to boot !! Plz help
I am getting the exact same message on an HP laptop I am trying to setup with dualboot WinXP + lucid. Fixed it by chrooting from the ubuntu cd to the ubuntu installation and running grub-update; grub-install /dev/sda. However the problem returned after booting windows once (and installing servicepack3). Quick guide to get ubuntu back up (thus answering the question): Boot live cd environment (test ubuntu). $ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt (If ubuntu is installed on second (2) partition of first harddrive (a). You will have to adapt this to your hard drive layout. ) $ sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev $ sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys $ sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc $ sudo chroot /mnt (now you are in your ubuntu installation) $ sudo grub-update $ sudo grub-install /dev/sda (check that these two commands ran without any angry complaints) $ logout (you are back to the live-cd environment) $ sudo reboot -- Dual boot not working unable to boot !!

For me this problem was fixed by uninstalling the HP recovery stuff from windows as it was overwriting parts of grub2 at every opportunity. I don't know if this is a good solution. But HP:s stuff assumed there was an ntloader and wrote stuff where ntloader shouldn't be without checking if the space was free, thus rendering the system unbootable.
