opticon is still having a problem:
I had an issue previously where I installed a fresh Windows XP on top of
a previous one after setting up a dual boot with Ubuntu 8.10. This
caused XP to override the GRUB boot loader, and I had to reinstall GRUB
using an answer I found here. However, that issue wasn't a matter of an
error, Windows was just being a jerk and didn't like playing second
fiddle to another OS. This is a new issue though. When I was fixing GRUB
when the previous problem cropped up, the Partition Editor recognized
all the partitions on both Hard Drives and I was able to mount the Linux
partition and re-install GRUB which solved the problem. But again this
is now an Error 5, which from what little I can understand has something
to do with "Partition table invalid or corrupt." I just can't find any
information on whether this is fixable and if so how to do it.
