Thread: Installed Xubuntu 9.10, windows won't boot anymore.

let's start:

code:

yes, i'm argentina, i'm using xubuntu in spanish.

thing is, after installed xubuntu, grub gives me option boot win xp, expected. when select option, says (i'm translating english):

code:

windows xp won't load. disk/system32/something.sys not found. install file , try again

grub.cfg displays this:

code:

insmod ntfs     set root=(hd0,1)     search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 0638cc9438cc8461     drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}     chainloader +1

i tried change (hd0,0) , (hd0,4) it's still not working.

ideas?


also, in subject... how can read ntfs partitions xubuntu?

thanks!!

you can try in terminal "sudo update-grub" find operating systems , update grub information
