I have a triple boot setup on my desktop where I have Windows XP, Ubuntu Studio and Kubuntu. This has worked great for about a year and Today my XP install had a major glitch with a program I NEED for work. Unable to fix the glitch I decided to Reformat and ReInstall just my XP partition. I did a fresh install of XP and my NEEDed program now works fine. Here is the problem: Now my startup Boot Menu 1)XP 2)Ubuntu 3) Kubuntu is gone. It has been so long since I first set this up, I cannot remember how I did. I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu Studio or Kubuntu, I just want my Boot Menu Back. Please help! Thanks ~Mahogan
