I am running Ubuntu on a dual boot system along side of Windows XP (service pack 3) and a few years ago had lots of trouble with the dual boot. It stopped working after I ran an Ubuntu update. Windows became unbootable, while Ubuntu would still boot as I remember, but I got lots of error messages from Grub. This necessitated reinstalling Windows from scratch at which point I abandoned Ubuntu and the dual boot. However I continued to get occasional messages from Grub on booting up from a cold start into Windows. The cure was, and still is, to hit reset and try again. Grub doesn't complain again and the boot into Windows works. Recently, having reread the dual boot installation instructions, I decided to reinstall Ubuntu again along side of Windows using a slightly different setup and now it seems to be working okay, except once in a while I still get messages from Grub complaining about something or other and have to go through the reset and reboot procedure. I should also mention that as a result of reinstalling Windows I have 4 dead entries and 1 live entry in my boot menu when it first comes up. The first five all point to Windows XP but only the first one works and goes to a live copy of Windows. The last entry in the list, number 6, is for Ubuntu. That also works.
I do not know if this helps by supplying some context. I hope it does. And, I am amazed and pleased at how fast you guys (and your bot) responded to my bug report. That's a very good sign.
