No boot option after installing Xp

[fegster69]

My misses wanted XP putting back onto her laptop, which had Ubuntu 10.04 installed using the whole drive. So I created a partition for it, and install XP onto it, but now it now longer gives me the option to choose between Ubuntu or XP. I know I need to reinstall GRUB but I am not sure on how to do it. Can anybody give me a step by step guide on how to do this please?? The simplest the better because I am not too hot on Ubuntu, unfortunately.

Thanks

Andy

Have a look at this article:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows

There are a number of methods listed. Read them all before deciding which one to go with.

Simple instructions using the Live CD.

There is a Windows based boot loader (only for records because Grub is a better choice any way).
