hello. i just updated ubuntu and now at the boot menu, when i choose windows xp they start booting but just before they reach the point where you sellect the user, they reboot. i also noticed that ubuntu does not recognize the "c" drive where windows are at a seperate partition. they only recognize my second hard drive. any suggestions? please try to keep the reply simple because i am not an expert with the command line (yet). thanx a lot!!!

I would try booting from your WindowsXP CD and on the screen that says press Enter to isntall or r to repair, select r. The system will look for windows installations on your hard drive and should find your exisiting one. Select to repair it and see if that fixes the problem.
