I will see if my window XP is destroyed or not.

I have Ubuntu 10.04, 11.04 and Lubuntu 11.10 installed with window XP.
The previous grub reinstall was done in Ubuntu 11.04.
And after that I did experiment with Boot Repair, and set Ubuntu 11.04 as default boot.
Current Lubuntu 11.10 (sda11) was a clone of Lubuntu 11.10 (sad4) by Clonezilla CD,
my first experiment on Cloning by Clonezilla.
Then I format sda4 for next ubuntu installation.
And after that I did experiment with Boot Repair, and set Ubuntu 11.04 as default boot.

And today,
I reinstall grub2 since I want default /boot to be change to lubuntu 11.10(sad11).
Then I have the above error.

I have not install any new adobe software in windows at all for long time, and the last time I turn on my windows,
to check window files system of usb-hdd. and did not update anything.

The only Adobe program is AR Reader installations were done to USB-stick Ubuntu,
or external drive and to some of my Ubuntu experiment.

Though Photoshop and AI and other Adobe update in windows XP were done years ago,
since I install Ubuntu 8.04,
and never have this issue until lubuntu 11.10 "grub reinstall".
The installation of lubuntu 11.10 did not produce any error too.

When
Bug Watch Updater (bug-watch-updater) on 2011-03-16
Changed in grub2 (Debian):
status: New → Fix Released

Dose it suppose to still produce the error above?

I will report on my XP later.
Thank you.
