I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 alongside Win XP. I can boot into both fine. However, I no longer see the Win XP boot menu that allowed me to go into the Windows Recovery Console if I needed it. Previously with Ubuntu 8 & 9 this was briefly available after selecting the Win XP option from the grub menu, but not any more. How do I get it back?

I don't remember about XP any more, but with F8 you get advanced options when booting windows. So after selecting XP, hit F8 and see if recovery console is shown.

Also you can always load the recovery console using the XP cd.
