Good day!
I hoping that someone could help with this one.
WinXP isn't showing up in my grub menu after I ran "Sudo Update-Grub"
I just did a clean install of everything.
Winxp / Win_7 / Ubuntu 10.10
I installed each drive separately and by themselves.
500GB HD Winxp/Games
250GB HD Win_7
200GB HD Ubuntu 10.10
My last step after installing Ubuntu and letting it do all of the OS's upgrades was to re-connect the drives. i then went into the BIOS and placed the drives in this boot order.
1 - 200GB HD Ubuntu 10.10
2 - 250GB HD Win_7
3 - 500GB HD Winxp/Games
I booted up into Ubuntu and in terminal I ran "Sudo Update-Grub" the results were:
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-30-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-30-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sdc1
done
Ubuntu is ok as is the first Win_7 however the second Win_7 does nothing and there is no mention of Win_XP?
I don't mind leaving the Second Dead listing of Win_7 I can live with that. One head ache at a time. I would just like to get Winxp in there. Below I have added in some more information that might help?

I hoping that someone could help with this one.
WinXP isn't showing up in my grub menu after I ran "Sudo Update-Grub"
I just did a clean install of everything.
Winxp / Win_7 / Ubuntu 10.10
I installed each drive separately and by themselves.
500GB HD Winxp/Games
250GB HD Win_7
200GB HD Ubuntu 10.10
My last step after installing Ubuntu and letting it do all of the OS's upgrades was to re-connect the drives. i then went into the BIOS and placed the drives in this boot order.
1 - 200GB HD Ubuntu 10.10
2 - 250GB HD Win_7
3 - 500GB HD Winxp/Games
I booted up into Ubuntu and in terminal I ran "Sudo Update-Grub" the results were:
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-30-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-30-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sdc1
done
Ubuntu is ok as is the first Win_7 however the second Win_7 does nothing and there is no mention of Win_XP?
I don't mind leaving the Second Dead listing of Win_7 I can live with that. One head ache at a time. I would just like to get Winxp in there. Below I have added in some more information that might help?
