I am running Ubuntu 5.1 on a dell optiplex GX270. Recently I upgraded the harddrive from the standard 40GB to a 200GB and did the following:
1. Began the Windows XP install process to create a 40 GB partition and completed the first stage of setup so linux would know there is a windows installation
2. Installed Ubuntu on the remainder of the drive
3. Put the old 40GB drive into an external USB drive case and used dd (dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/hda1) to copy it from the USB device to the windows partition (/dev/hda1)
When I reboot and select the windows partion I get the following error:
boot (hd0,0)
Filesystem type unknown partition type 0x7
makeactive
chainloader +1
boot
Since my job requires my PC to be infected with Windows I need to get this up and running. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
