Yes, I've tried that, and no devices show up in the advanced options section. The file browser still doesn't show the NTFS drive.

Also, did some searching found this.

But before you do, i think you should try a restart. Also check this.

It appears from your fdisk -l output that your ntfs volume is on a different drive
I believe what you need to do is to use the map command to get that to work. See the following for reference:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/man...OS_002fWindows
Try modifying the section in your menu.lst to the following
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader +1
I tried the hard drive mapping reversal thing, with no luck. It got to stage2 in grub, however, and just hung there. I think it was trying to chainload the windows bootloader, which doesn't exist on that drive anymore because it has been overwritten by GRUB.
So, I'm back to these two options:
1. run FIXMBR from the windows xp recovery disk (and possibly make the data unreadable, which it already is)
2. use a data recovery tool and then run FIXMBR
It all depends on the actual risk involved with fixmbr. Does anyone know of a really good data recovery tool?
