hey guys i had ubuntu and slackware installed together for a while, i just needed xp to do some native language work so i installed it on my extra partition but then i messed up the grub menu, however i reinstalled it from live cd.. but now the problem is i dont know how to add a xp in that.
i'll give you my fdisk -ls output :
/dev/sda1 1 12803 102840066 83 Linux

/dev/sda4 * 15036 19457 35519715 7 HPFS/NTFS
