It would be nice to get a sticky thread up for dual boot installation issues. It seems like this is a very common problem with the upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04.

I was finally able to solve my issue dual booting 10.04 and Windows XP Home at this thread.

I had to reinstall Grub2 and run update-grub.

Then I had to run Rescue on my XP disk. Once to the DOS command line I ran the following command:

C:\Windows>fixboot c:

I rebooted and now all is well. I can boot to Ubuntu 10.04 or Windows XP from my Grub menu.
