Hi,
I upgraded my ubuntu to 10.4 the other night. Everything went well and 10.4 worked great. However, I tried to boot up Windows this morning and found that after selecting XP from the grub menu, all I got was a black screen. I can access the drive from linux and can save the music and photos I store on the HD with windows, but I hope someone can give me an easier, or at least faster fix. I'm afraid I was not paying enough attention during the upgrade (late night!) when I got to the point where I was asked about installing grub on various drives and I may have installed it over the mbr/pbr??? on the windows hd. Does anyone have an guess what I might have done? Here is the output from fdisk -l

As always, I appreciate any help.
