after fresh reinstall of (1) Win XP, and (2) Ubuntu 9.04, differences arose between fat32 bootsector and its backup (dosfsck)
After having some trouble with partitions being ovelapped when I upgraded a dual boot system from 8.10 to 9.04 ( https:/
Just after the installation, everything worked fine.
After some weeks time, I started having troubles again with partitions, as reported at boot time, with a message ssaying "Not automatically fixing this.". :-/
calling manually dosfck I get this (below):
-------
~$ sudo dosfsck -a /dev/sda1
dosfsck 3.0.1, 23 Nov 2008, FAT32, LFN
There are differences between boot sector and its backup.

How can I fix this?
And how could this have happened? I don't want to start having problems again with overlapping partitions...
It looks to me that there is some problem (bug?) with ubuntu grub, or dosfck, ...
More information, in case it helps:
/etc/fstab:
