[23:53] <AlanD> A woman at a local convenience store had trouble with her XP laptop so I agreed to look at it. The Windows disk couldn't find a bootable hard drive, so I tried Ubuntu. Worked great.
[23:55] <AlanD> I loaded Ubuntu hoping that the XP disk would recognize the hard drive, but I still can't load XP for her. Any ideas as to why Ubuntu works but XP wouldn't
[23:56] <AlanD> I know that Ubuntu is supposed to be better than Microsoft, but this is interesting.
[23:59] <wxl> AlanD: most likely something about the XP install is corrupted. I'd suggest recommending Ubuntu to her but using it to grab all her files off the XP disk.
