https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77500

Hi. I decided to switch to Ubuntu to make my life easier, but.. After installing I can't run neither XP nor Ubuntu. I get Error 5 message after restart. I reinstalled Ubuntu three times and it's all the same. Now I am running from CD. Please help me somebody! I was trying to find answers in forums but it seems there are none. Here is what I have for the starters:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -ul

Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders, total 625142448 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000001

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *          63   268912034   134455986    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2       268912035   625137344   178112655    5  Extended
/dev/sda5       268912098   619900154   175494028+  83  Linux
/dev/sda6       619900218   624783914     2441848+  83  Linux
/dev/sda7       624783978   625137344      176683+  82  Linux swap / Solaris

before last reinstall I formated the non XP portion to ext3. probably that's why I have sda5 and sda6. All I want is to turn on  my PC and have two boot choices - between WindowsXP(home) and  Ubuntu 9.04.
