Error 23 : Error while parsing number
Hello,
I just installed ubuntu on my computer, I have two hard disks, one in which there are windows XP and another on which there is Ubuntu.
When I want to run Linux from the start menu I get the error message
"Can not mount selected partition"
When I start XP, I get the message "Error while parsing number"
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
This error is returned if GRUB was expecting to read a number and encountered bad data.
What kind of disks? ide? sata?
Are they on the same layer or on two separate layers?
In any case it seems to me that a relocation is necessary and preferable owing to poor partitioning

Hi,
If the problem is still not solved, try using ubuntu Super Grub Disk.
1. Save super_grub_disk_floppy_english_0.9575.img into your /home/username directory
2. Insert a blank floppy disk in your machine's floppy disk drive.
3. Open a terminal
4. Then do this
Code:
dd if=super_grub_disk_floppy_english_0.9575.img of=/dev/fd0
and this is directly reads out. This should be easy for you.
