Public bug reported: I'm not sure if this is the right package for this, move as needed
I convinced someone to throw Ubuntu onto their system in dual boot with windows. I choose the alternate cd, because it's more familiar. After installing Ubuntu 6.06 Ubuntu runs fine but windows gives the contents of the windows entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst followed by: NTLDR is Missing Press any key to restart This seems to be quite a serious error for windows. MS's info is here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318728 some tips on fixing it are here: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000465.htm There is a forum entry about this at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24952 Naturally my friend freaked out and now I'm trying to fix this. Perhaps some kind of integrity check could be made so that Ubuntu refuses to install when it finds such problems. Of course fixing it would be even better but a bit hopeful perhaps. ** Affects: mbr (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Windows can't boot "NTLDR is Missing" https://launchpad.net/bugs/54283 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
