Hi,
I have installed ubuntu 9.10 desktop version and i am unable to boot into windows7 which i had installed before ubuntu.
I am not able to get a dual boot menu for booting into windows.
When i typed fdisk -l i got the following output.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 6375 51200000 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 * 6376 8923 20466810 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 8924 20899 96187471+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4 29839 30401 4522297+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 29839 30401 4522266 82 Linux swap / Solaris
And i am also missing a menu.lst file in the /boot/grub folder
(and someone told me that there is no menu.lst file in ubuntu 9.10)
when i open the grub.cfg file i get the following output.
