I have Ubuntu boot manager on E:\ and XP is on F:\

XP boots fine. Ubuntu hangs on initranfs

Is there a next step?
Thanks.
Reinstall Ubuntu? Do something in the BIOS?

Sorry but your title does not seem to jive with your other questions.

Bios will not have anything to do with Ubuntu not loading, however once it does load, go to places, computer, the the drive where XP is at to mount XP from Ubuntu as in your title ?.

Boot from ubuntu live CD and type in the terminal

sudo fdisk -l
where -l is a small L and post the results
