First off, Hi everyone :)
Yesterday, I decided to install Ubuntu 9.04. After downloading, burning and installing Ubuntu from the LiveCD, I instantly fell in love :P. Despite that, after playing around for a few hours, decided to boot back to XP... and when the XP logo appears, my computer reboots.
Techinal Stuff:
I had Windows XP and a Windows 7 RC installed before installing Ubuntu. The normal bootloader was the Windows 7 one.
During Ubuntu installation, It detected the OS as "Windows Vista loader", which I assumed was OK. I let it install, and sure enough, on the GRUB menu, I can boot to the Windows 7 bootloader.
When I'm there, the same options arise as before: Windows XP and Windows 7.
Windows 7 works just as before, it boots fine.
However, choosing Windows XP immediately restarts my computer once it reaches the loading screen with the XP logo.
I was wondering if it were possible to allow me to boot to XP again... There are a few things installed on XP that I was doing :(.
Thanks in advance and for reading, Mark.
