To give some more detail: when you try and boot the Windows partition, it 
reboots just before getting into graphical mode (i.e. just after loading 
mup.sys). Probably needs a repair install at least, and possibly a total 
reinstall.

The Ubuntu problem has been fixed: it wasn't mounting /home because Ubuntu 
loads NFS mounts when eth0 comes up; thanks to udev.rules stupidity there 
was no eth0.
