Hi Guys,
After upgrading from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04, windows XP boot option is missing from the boot loader window. The laptop has two ntfs partitions - one for windows recovery and the other one for XP. The recovery option is available in the boot loader. But XP is missing. I tried several suggestions from different forums but to no vail. Can somebody help ? The output of boot_info-script follows:
