Disconnect the second drive with your Linux partition and try it again.

So, Vista or XP was working fine until you installed Linux/Ubuntu?

You're not providing much info on what you are doing or have done to get to that point, and you haven't posted on your other thread so I guess you're gone as soon as you arrived.

I understand the partitions are messed up. If you have a floppy drive, try booting from it and run "testdisk for dos". If you have a BartPE cd, you can run "Testdisk for Windows" from a USB stick. It could fix your disk.
