Hi David, I will try to describe the problem. Well, during the installation of Ubuntu Studio 9.04 (some months ago) I choose to install it in a specific entire hard disk. Finally I noticed that, the installation wizard searched for other Operating Systems (OS) in other hard disks, even if I did not want it and wrote the grub "application" in the MBR of the Windows XP hard disk and the MBR of the Ubuntu hard disk. Possibly I somehow made a mistake - I really don't know. Anyway, I fixed the Win XP MBR and I disconnect all the internal hard disks except the one I wanted to install UBUNTU. I did again the installation and I had no problem. The point here is that, the Bios settings I reported above, are different for any OS. My system (and any system) at first loads the Bios settings and after that loads the OS. So, If my system boots to the UBUNTU OS and after that I select (into the grub application) the Win XP OS it will simply boot in the Win XP hard disk but..... KEEPING THE UBUNTU OS BIOS SETTINGS !! This is the problem !! I can remember now a BIOS function of my motherboard (CPU Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology - EIST). By default it was enabled , but no Linux OS I tried last year could start if this setting was enabled..... I noticed that It is a very useful function and it is working very good under windows XP or windows 7 OS. There are a lot of examples like this. That's all David. I tried to explain the situation and I hope you get it. Thank's a lot. Regards.
