Dual-boot kubuntu and winXP

[Accinson]

Hi,
i am playing with an old pc (one i can do everything i want to...just for testing purpose).
I have installed xubuntu 8.04 on it,and then i wanted to try what happens if i install windows xp after,but so far i can't get the bootloader to correctly display all the available OSs.

Here's what i see with fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 8455 MB, 8455200768 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1027 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xa7dda7dd

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 243 1951866 83 Linux

Disk /dev/sdb: 15.3 GB, 15307407360 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1861 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x10f2ab69

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 608 4883728+ 83 Linux

Disk /dev/sdc: 1005 MB, 1005322240 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1947 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x49e2a461

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 1948 981503+ 6 FAT16

So i still have my NTFS partition,but i am not able to boot it,nor even see it in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file....

How can i make things work?

There's likely a command to do it for you, but you could do it manually. Open up /boot/grub/menu.lst in a text editor, with superuser permissions.

$ sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.backup0805
$ gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Add this to the very end.
