Hi Ubuntu Experts,
I am new to Linux, So please help me in fixing the below issue.
My PC is already a dual booting system(Windows XP and Fedora).
Yesterday, I have installed Ubuntu 9.04, After I coudln't able to boot Window-XP but i can boot Fedora and Ubuntu without any failure. Through Ubuntu, I can see NTFS datas.
The only issue is windows XP is not booting. Please let me know how to fix the same at earliest.
FYI, I am attaching menu.lst and fdisk -ul logs.
# menu.lst - See: grub(, info grub, update-grub(

# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.

# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.

# (normally the first entry defined).
