Bug Description
Hi All,
I installed Kubuntu 8.04 yesterday, and it installed all the files, as I was able to mount the partition from PCLinux 2008. I have 2 hard drives, 1 IDE for Windows XP, and 1 new Sata2 for Linux. I wanted to try Kubuntu, and see if what changes have been made, and to give it a fair trial I wanted to install it after running it from live cd. The first time I put grub on the partion that I had created, the second install I put it on the first hard drive or MBR. I let Kubuntu follow it's default install options the second time. Both trials failed, at first it would not even boot into Kubuntu's menu.lst, but that changed after I changed the hd1 to hd0. But that is as far as it would go, it would not boot into WindowsXP, or into Kubuntu or PCLinux.
I had to use the LiveCD for PCLinux, and redo my MBR to recover my partitions as it was broken well. The errors I kept encountering in Grub was error 22 after choosing the Kubuntu partition. The WindowsXP disc would say something like can not execute command or something like that, sorry I didn't write it down. I just thought I would give you some feedback, and help out the community. I really liked the Kubuntu forums, and find there is a lot of good will there and encouragement. If you need any more information please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks for your help!
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
In this particular case, it would be appreciated if you could include what you did in a more linear fashion, with a little more detail about which options you chose in the installer.
Thanks!
