Hey guys
Ive been using my Ubuntu/XP Dual Boot machine for about a year now with no problems. Last night i was playing some XCom on XP, then when i rebooted this morning, spent a few hours on Ubuntu, then went to boot XP only to get the Error 13 - Invalid or unsupported executable format message.
This is the result of my fdisk
and my Menu.lst looks like this:
I'm not really sure where to go next. Ive googled it, but it's all pretty confusing and adding in the MAP cheat doesnt seem to work, or im not doing it right.
Any ideas?
I cant restore MBR as I dont have an XP CD with me, I also cant disable GRUB as I dont have a UBUNTU CD with me (lost in transit whilst moving), and my WiFi downloads at 50k/sec so getting a new one will take many hours (it droups out every 5 minutes).
Im completely at a loss :/
