Thread: Grub shows Ubuntu but only Recovery Environment for XP

-

hi there,

carried out dual boot install (ubuntu 11.10 on acer aspire 1 zg8 netbook xp). whilst manually adjusting partitions made stupid error , changed sda 2 ntfs (the main windows data drive) directly linux swap. after damage done (it formatted part of process), reassigned partitions hope more sensible shape...

[sda1 ntfs 6gb pqservice (original , unchanged)] [sda4 primary ext4 /home 130gb] [sda3 & sda5 (extended) logic linux swap 2gb] [sda2 ext4 / 10gb (boot)]

after successful install followed successful upgrade 12.04 have grub ubuntu options windows, 'recovery environment (loader)', which, when used, says says runs succesfully. (this involves "restoring pc factory default status", , formating c: drive (does partition exist anymore?) , produces errorcode=0 reboots)

have run boot-repair-disk boot usb , used 'recomended repair' function, situation unchanged.

if there identical or useful thread, please show me.

appreciate in fixing little bit of chaos. if need more info, please tell me , post best post it.

many

(some things confuse me, date 20 nov 2012 , fact says sda1 windows 7, else looks right though)

a week ago in premiere pro cs6 world. one day updated windows, next day few .mp4 video files opened in premiere pro, played fine well, except fact display has green (sometimes multicolour, solid green block) bars in lower third of screen. see screenshot below.   these same files open/display fine in after effects, photoshop , vlc- , quicktime players. i'd read fromyears ago windows updates causing this, removed 1 of therecent kb's no avail. i did install adobemediaencodertrial_64-6.0.3-mul-adobeupdate and dynamiclinkmediaserverretail-1.0.1-mul-adobeupdate and reverted quicktime 7.6 but nothing makes difference.   in end, formatted c:\, reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64bit , downloaded/installed 260 updates , reinstalled cs6 (and aforementioned ame , dlms updates , qt7.6) it's still same problem.   also tried exporting (part of) 1 of these files, see if wasn't display problem: exported file same properties original has green bars.   what else can do?   thanks in advanc
