Hi all,
I have Ubuntu and Windows XP installed on two separate partitions of my hard drive. I recently decided I wanted to reinstall XP -- partly just to learn about the process, but also because I missed that new computer feel.
I was prepared to reinstall Ubuntu as well, if necessary, but I learned I could just install XP on its partition and leave the Ubuntu partition intact.
Ubuntu is still there -- at least from what I can tell. But the boot menu is gone. There is the option to hit F12 and go to a boot menu, but that just asks what device you want to boot from -- not what OS you want.
I am going to see if the live CD can help me out, and if anyone else has a suggestion, please let me know.
Thanks!
Dylan
