Comment 11 for bug 441941

Thanks to PeterF! I confirmed your solution on my HP nc6400 laptop, I deleted HP protecttools and the HP recovery manager installer and now GRUB2 boots normally. Your point is well taken this a problem specific to Windows/HP software. Obviously, it is isn't the responsibility of Ubuntu to support GRUB and Windows XP dual booting. But given the popularity of GRUB and the reality that many linux users dual boot would it really be too much to ask to test Ubuntu/Windows dual boot setups on some standard computers like our HP laptops? Nevertheless, the beauty of linux is that people like you solve these problems just because you care. Thanks again!!!
