I had Windows seven and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Dual boot machine.

Today, I did custom installation of windows seven on the drive on which XP was present.

But now, I'm directly getting booted to Windows. I'm using windows for gaming but my primary OS is UBUNTU. But, Now, I can't use it.

Please help !

well as suggested above, you need to install grub again
as whenever you install any new windows on existing multiboot system, the grub loader needs to be reinstalled again...
