On my main machine (NOT the vbox test described above) I have this kind
of setup:
 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 2550 20482843+ c7 Syrinx
/dev/sda2 2551 6375 30720000 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 6376 36746 243955057+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4 * 36747 38913 17406427+ 5 Extended

> /dev/sda6 38379 38913 4297356 82 Linux swap / Solaris

sda1 & sda2 are windows, sda3 is storage.

sda4 is the "extended" partition "containing" sda5 (ubu 9.04) and sda6
(swap)
For various reasons I have the first 512b part of grub installed to sda4
("root (0,4); setup (hd0,3)"), which is being chainloaded.
When installing ubuntu to a usb stick (not liveusb) these 512b of
bootloader were wiped and ubuntu is unable to boot.
