Cant see XP in Grub after installing Ubuntu
Hi all,
I just installed ubuntu 9.04 to my laptop. It had XP previously. Now when i start the computer, the Grub page comes but I cant login to XP from there. I know XP is still there because I can see it from ubuntu. I installed Ubuntu on a seperate partition that i created while installing ubuntu. How can I get XP on GRUB menu. Here are my partitions: unallocated unallocated 7.84 MiB /dev/sda1 extended 194.72 GiB /dev/sda5 ntfs /media/disk 192.72 GiB /dev/sda6 linux-swap 1.91 GiB /dev/sda2 ext3 / 28.61 GiB unallocated unallocated 65.75 GiB /dev/sda3 ntfs HP_REC 9.00 GiB sda5 has XP, sda6 has ubuntu swap, sda2 has ubuntu, sda3 is HP recovery partition, and unallocated is free. |
Sorry for this question, Is it possible to boot XP if it is in a logical drive..? what about the /dev/sda1 and how it has become extended partition...curious to know, pls.
If it is bootable from /dev/sda5, then have you checked with ubuntu's /boot/grub/menu.lst ? It may show you the windows entry there something like this.. title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,4) chainloader +1 If this not there, pls try these entries there and reboot. pls revert back. |
Ubuntu should have detected XP and automatically put it in the Grub list. Do what sagaar said.
