I have two separate hard disks, one having ubuntu 10.04 and one having Windows XP.

I'm unable to get an option to choose from grub menu as to which operating system i want to boot into.

Please, type this command and post its output:



sudo update-grub

And if update-grub as suggested above, doesn't list your Windows install, boot into Ubuntu and post the output of bootinfoscript as per instructions here.

http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net

That would let us take a look at your setup and thus help diagnose the problem.

While posting, click the # icon in post menu and paste your text in between the generated code tags.

The sudo update-grub command worked and now i get the grub menu to select the os.

Thanks for the help :)
