I have duel boot Windows XP and Ubuntu 910. I've just downloaded and installed the latest update for Ubuntu 9.10. After my latest update, Windows will no longer start. When I select Windows from the grub loader, the screen goes black with a blinking white horizontal cursor at the top left of the screen. I have read that it may of something to do with "update from Karmic to Lucid", what ever that is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There are two different terms used but with very close meaning.

Update is when you receive updates for the version you have.

Upgrade is upgrading to newer version after it's released.

If you actually upgraded to 10.04 it is probably the issue you were reading about. In that case look here:
