I've been using this machine successfully dual booting Ubuntu 8.04 with Windows XP since Apr-08 and with 9.04 for the last few months.
I haven't touched the Windows install so I'm guessing that the problem is grub2 letting Windows overwrite it, which doesn't happen with grub.
I've uninstalled 9.10 and reinstalled 9.04 and everythings fine again so the problem is definitely with grub2 / 9.10 and not some other random Windows thing.
Thanks for the link
