Hi,
I have installed ubuntu 10.10 after installing windows xp (/dev/sda1). I could see the windows xp entry on starting up in grub but I could not go into xp. Whenever I select the xp entry and press enter one blank screen is appearing and again the default ubuntu 10.10 is appearing.
While installing ubuntu 10.10 I have selected the /dev/sda1 to install the boot loader, infact it was showing that xp is installed on /dev/sda1.
First time when i installed ubuntu i have selected /dev/sda to install the boot loader, but i failed to invoke xp. Then again reinstalled the ubuntu after formatting the ubuntu partition.

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Is there any problem with the last line of fdisk -l output
"partition table entries are not in disk order" ?
Kindly help me. Thank you in advance.
