I had to reload my OS because of a bad MBR issue I could not fix. I re installed Win XP Pro on HDA1 which is where it always was and on HDA2 still remains my Ubuntu installation that I cannot get to. Can I edit a file in Windows so I use the Windows boot loader instead of GRUB. I don't want to have to re load my Ubuntu cause it is all customized and set up nice. Naturally I would prefer it the other way around but I spent all day and night re installing WinXP. Thanks....:)
