Hi, I am brand spanking new to the ubuntu scene and I am utterly confused.
I have an fujitsu p7120 that just got the 10.10 netbook version of ubuntu installed and it is VERY VERY FAST compared to the previous xp that is on it. Prior to the install, I have an XP os that I use for to tune/diag my car with, and couple other important programs.
When I restarted to boot into XP, it shows the name "Msoft Win XP Pro blah blah dev/sda1", I hit enter, and the grub screen keeps coming back as if I restarted it again immediatly.
So I dug around the ubuntu forums here, but I have no clue what I am doing....
I did run Boot Info & fdisk -l and here are the resulting txts

I can still access all the files through the file explorer, however, would hate to re-install the os again (even if it is horrendous). All the help is greatly appreciated. thank you very much in advance.
