Ok, I'm a total newbie so please bear with me.
On my pc I had dual boot for XP and Vista and everything worked ok. I guess Vista installed some kind of OS selector. When I installed Ubuntu, I used the partition where I had Vista since I didn't like it anyway. Ubuntu installed without a glitch and worked perfectly.
Now, when I boot up my machine, I can select Ubuntu from GRUB (I think that's what it's called) or "another OS" BUT when I select Windows XP, the system crashes and I'm never able to boot back into XP.
Sorry for the long explanation but any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
