I installed Ubuntu 10.04 in a partition alongside two other partitions that contain windows. One is a windows xp recovery partition (about 8 GB) and the other is windows xp media center (about 37 GB). The Ubuntu partition is about 180 GB. Anyway, after I installed it, I was only able to boot to Windows XP. I can't boot to Ubuntu.
Using supergrub, however, I am able to get Ubuntu to boot up. In supergrub, I got to Gnu/Linux, select the option to "Boot Gnu/Linux directly", and it works.
However, if I try the "Fix grub" option, I get "error 15: file not found". Also, if I try to the option of "Boot to Partition" and I select the Ubuntu partition, I get "error 13: invalid or unsupported exectuable format".
When in Ubuntu, I opened the terminal and tried the following:
gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
The menu.lst file is empty. There is nothing in it.
What is going on? How can I fix it so when I boot the computer I'm given the option of booting to Windows XP media center or to Ubuntu?
For additional info, I ran the bootinfoscript and the results.txt file is pasted below. Thanks for your help in advance!

sdc sdd sde sdf
Using supergrub, however, I am able to get Ubuntu to boot up. In supergrub, I got to Gnu/Linux, select the option to "Boot Gnu/Linux directly", and it works.
However, if I try the "Fix grub" option, I get "error 15: file not found". Also, if I try to the option of "Boot to Partition" and I select the Ubuntu partition, I get "error 13: invalid or unsupported exectuable format".
When in Ubuntu, I opened the terminal and tried the following:
gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
The menu.lst file is empty. There is nothing in it.
What is going on? How can I fix it so when I boot the computer I'm given the option of booting to Windows XP media center or to Ubuntu?
For additional info, I ran the bootinfoscript and the results.txt file is pasted below. Thanks for your help in advance!
