Hi there,

For some reason I can't understand, after installing Karmic in one of my computers Windows XP stopped working altogether. I can access windows partitions from ubuntu and is listed in GRUB. It's just that when I try booting up from that partition it just goes into a black screen and there it stays...

Anyone has any thoughts on what happens? Will be much appreciated.

Most likely your XP system partition got corrupted especially if you used the side-by-side option to install ubuntu.
