GRUB won't load Windows XP after upgrating 9.10 Ubuntu to 10.04 and reinstalling GRUB 1. Stuck on "Starting up...".

Tried "map" and "boot" but didn't worked.

I have the same problem. I dual boot windows 7 and Ubuntu, and since the upgrade from 9.10 to lucid I can no longer load windows 7.

I tried the solution posted by ctsbc but the problem remains.

Start a new thread and post your results.txt from the boot info script. (link to it in ctsbc post)
