I have just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 10.10 using the option to install side by side/dual boot option with Windows XP.
However Windows XP was not added to my GRUB2 menu and I am having problems trying to boot back into Windows.
I think my Windows XP install is on /dev/sda1
Add ideas what I need to add to my menuentry in /boot/grub/grub.cfg to be able to boot into Windows?
Heres the dump of my boot info via http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/
