Ubuntu 64 bits HELP Dual Boot

[lin_hlp]

Hello anyone can help me?????
Ok i'm a beginer user girl, i start using ubuntu 8.10 and then 9.04 allways with dual boot on 32 bits with no problems at all. but i bought a 64 bit machine last month i tried to install ubuntu 10.04 karmik koala & Win Xp 64 bit with dual boot.

Linux boots fine, windows won't. It keeps hanging after displaying

After this I only see a blinking cursor, windows won't load.

Thanks, Lorena...

It will show us more information.

Hi and welcome. So the problem is that XP 64 bit hangs at boot, right? Is there anything wrong with Ubuntu?

Yes, just copy-paste the text inside, like from any document. After pasting when the text is still selected here when creating the post, please hit the # button in the toolbar above to place CODE tags at beginning and end of the text. It helps reading it.

It's too hard???

[darkod]

Actually I can't notice anything wrong. You can try and force a check of the XP partition next time you try to boot it. In ubuntu in terminal run:

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1

After it's finished, restart and select to boot XP from the boot menu. It should start the windows chkdsk tool to check the XP partition.

[lin_hlp]

i restarted already with the same results i have just a blinking cursor on the top left screen and nothing else, the good news that system its brand new with no info in the hd except the operanting systems and i can re-format them do you can suggest somethink?
