Hi Everyone,

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Now, I cannot get to Windows. I can see it from Ubuntu(like, I can go to my 213GB Filesystem and see everything), but when I boot, there's just a blinking _ for a few mintes (after a few minutes I turned it off by holding the power button).

From what version did you upgrade? 10.04 uses Grub2 (since 9.10, I think) and the way to access the menu is by holding the SHIFT button when booting.

Hey everyone, I figured out how to fix this. I used testdisk.
