My pc has 2 hd: one with Windows XP Professional e another with Ubuntu 10.04. Yesterday, after upgrading Ubuntu, Windows stopped booting. Apparently, there was a problem with Grub.

Looking in this forum, I found a simple sugestion that took 5 minutes to solve the problem without leaving Ubuntu e without Windows cd: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector

Thanks so much for this post. You just saved me a huge amount of time in trying to get my XP install working again after the 10.04 upgrade. The link you provided allowed me to repair the boot sector issue very quickly and I was immediately able to boot into the XP partition. The last time I upgraded I had a similar problem and it took days to find the answer to my problem (which I failed to record somewhere).
