    hi,

    perhaps there are two different windows entries in the grub menu.lst ?
    I guess you mean the two windows entries which are in the grub...
    Please post the output of:
    Code:
    cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
    Keep it real. Keep it nice.

    edit out the entry for the XP you never want to boot from menu.lst

    type in
    gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

    take out the 5 lines associated with the xp boot

    title Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
    root (hd0,0)
    savedefault
    makeactive
    chainloader +1

    will likely be either the root hd0.0 or hd1,0


    Code:
    title		Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-9-generic
    root		(hd0,1)
    kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-generic root=UUID=d6269386-1a91-432d-9014-cce8e93eb891 ro quiet splash 
    initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-generic
    quiet

    I would advise caution here. One of those partitions is likely a restore partition, while the other is the actual O/S. Be careful.
