I have Windows XP installed on a 160GB drive.
So i wanted to install a dual boot, So i resized it with a partition manager to 130 and te left over 30GB for Ubuntu.
Everything went fine.
So i installed ubunto on the 30GB after i rebooted i realized ubuntu did not add my XP installation to the grub menu.
The drive is a sata drive and i gets listed a sda XP is on sda1
below is my grub menu.lst
you will see that i have added windows xp to the list , it shows but it doesnt work.
