I FINALLY convinced my wife to try Ubuntu on her laptop. We selected Install 10.4 side-by-side with XP. The grub menu shows up, but Windows is not listed. She's happy with Ubuntu so far, but I'd like to know why I can't use XP anymore. :confused:

btw, I actually made the mistake of using the import accounts option, which filled up the new partition and made Ubuntu unbootable. I deleted some things from the command prompt, and it's running fine now.

Hope you have not overwrote the windows bootloader by grub :confused:

Thanks dino99. I ran:

sudo grub-mkconfig && update-grub
and it seems to be working now.
