Ubuntu 9.10 Installation Error

[Cornelius]

I have 2 Hard drive originally
my first harddrive was a 500 GB had 3 operating systems on it
Vista (This i installed in my 2nd partition at the very start)
Windows 7 ( This i installed in my 1st partition once it came out)
Ubuntu Linux (This I always had in my 3 partition as a removable windows program)

My 2nd harddrive
1.5 TB (I had recently got and decided i'd move start fresh on this harddrive and use the other as my backup and have ubuntu as my main OS)

So, I delete my vista and formatted the partition
after that I restarted my computer and had a boot error and not having any of my windows disks detecting my harddrives so i could fix the damn thing i gave up and grabbed my 1.5 TB and put Ubuntu Linux on it to partition it in half because i wanted to run both windows 7 off one harddrive and linux ubuntu // other linuxes off the other.

When i try to boot with just my Windows hard drive it says
"No Operating System Found"

When i try to boot with just my Windows hard drive it says
Error: out of disk
Failed to boot default entries
Press any key to continue... (Just keeps repeating that)

Edit: I'm currently running it from the CD not the installation.
Desktop 64-Bit I believe (Maybe 32)

Hi!
First, the simpler to fix:
When you start up your computer - before the OS starts to boot, enter the BIOS editor ("setup"). Check the bootable device precedence - the storage devices which the hardware sequentially searches for a bootable medium.

Second, the less simple fix:
Assuming that your hardware is attempting to access the storage device which you believe to be bootable, 1) Which OS did you install last? 2) On which device does it reside? 3)Did you request the GRUB or LILO be installed on the master boot record (MBR) of that device [or the equivalent - in case it was MS you installed last]?

Hi,

As soon as you turn on the PC, hit the delete key as stated above, and check that you enabled the cd-drive option, and then come out of config, press esc and then save and exit changes, and then when you start up, it should begin straight from the cd-drive, then you can make any changes, either try Ubuntu with no change to your pc, or go through the other options, I believe F4 will give you furhter ooptions, hope this helps

You have deleted Vista Partition and partition structure, device names assigned to each partition have been changed.
You can fix this problem easily. Boot up from LiveCD of any Linux distro and execute fdisk -l command in Terminal.

sudo fdisk -l

Post output here.
