Can not boot Windows XP after Ubuntu Install

[metalman62]

I installed Ubuntu after Windows and had Ubuntu installer resize windows partition. Now when select Win xp pro from Grub, it just says, "Starting up" and does nothing else.

btw, I have scsi hard drive if that makes a difference. I am new to linux and grub.

Reboot, then select the XP entry. Instead of hitting enter, hit 'e'. Now scroll to the root (hd0,0) line. Then, change 'root' to 'rootnoverify'. Come back and tell us if that made a difference.

Edit: to change root to rootnoverify, press e once you scroll to that line. then press b to boot.
