Was your Vista pre-installed by vendor? In that case they used some cloning tool that did partitioning wrong.

XP installed by vendor then I upgraded to Vista myself

That should be a warning that can be ignored, see

Bug 229631. Missing partitions and space from drive after 8.04 upgrade. "Unrecognized partition table for drive 81. Please rebuild it using a microsoft compatible Fdisk tool (err=1)". What the H. is this? When I boot Ubuntu, I get this message and my 3rd partition on my HD does not show up under Ubuntu (at least I think it's no.3--Partition G under WinXP).

Is this the partition into which Ubuntu went when I set up the dual boot? I cannot access this partition under Ubuntu, but fortunately, I don't need much in it. I can boot into WinXP and into Ubuntu (just downloaded and installed about 200 updates). Ubuntu seems slower than XP but perhaps thats due to dual boot configuration. I just wish Linux/Unix used more names that made sense for the unintiated (Grep and Grub and Sudo don't do it for me)!...Thanks, KLC (only about 45 years computer experience in the industry and as an independent consultant)
