I'm still getting this error with the lastest Dapper ISO (downloaded the ia64 CD on 18 Aug 2006).

* My BIOS doesn't have any options whatsoever for my harddrive, so I can't switch to LBA mode

* Booting the Windows recovery console and running FIXMBR, just got rid of grub but didn't not bring back Windows.

* I tried the SUSE 9.1 install CD + driver update that azazel linked to, but that just set my Ubuntu partition's type to 0x93 (Amoeba), making it unbootable.

* I've even tried running parted from the Dapper LiveCD to set the Windows partition's LBA flag on, but it wouldn't take (parted refused to set the flag). And in the LiveCD's version on parted, there is no option to set the partition's type, although it already shows the partition to be of type 0x7 (as suggested by azazel).

Is there anything else I can try?
