Hi, everybody.
It's not the common "how to reinstall GRUB" question, don't worry. :-)
My HD partitioning is as follows:
- NTFS (primary): Windows XP 64bit
- EXT3 (extended): Ubuntu 9.10
- NTFS (extended): Windows XP 32bit
There are a few more partitions to make the use of extended partitions necessary. I have WinXP32 to run a few programs that won't run on 64.
Everything coexisted together for a few years, than I upgraded the XP64 to Win7. As usual, it had GRUB overwritten, and I recovered it with a Live-USB GParted.
When the GRUB menu was presented, I could select between Ubuntu and Win64/Win32. If this option was selected, another menu would be presented, this time letting me properly select Windows 64 or 32, but after this upgrade, I can't get this menu anymore. All I can boot is Ubuntu or Windows 7, but not WinXP32 anymore.
Any way I could recover its boot via GRUB?
Thanks in advance!
