despues que instale Ubutun no puedo reboot windows xp alguien me puede ayudar nuevo en ubuntu

I have windows xp on my pc and I install ubuntu 8.04 it ask me to create a partition of 15 GB minimun and I did it, and also ask me to do full disk and I did it, and now I can't reboot on windows xp and I don't see my document or all my data and I have 250 GB HD, I'am very new to Ubuntu I install it because I wanted to learn it but I really need my windows xp with all my files. can some one please help me

What do you mean by: "ask me to do full disk?"
I hope you didn't format your whole hard drive. You could install gparted on your ubuntu side and check how many partitions you have on your hard drive.

I just need to have my pc the way I used to have with windows xp no Ubuntu I just installed to try, can some one walk me trhoud I need jeps please

Hola robin,

Si al instalar le dijiste que ocupara todo el disco, eso te borra todas las particiones del disco duro para instalar Ubuntu, es decir, que luego de la instalación vas a tener únicamente Ubuntu, es decir, que borraste todo lo que tenías anteriormente.

Para verificar si la partición de Windows todavía existe, abrite una terminal (Aplicaciones -> Utilidades -> Terminal) y escribí el siguiente comando:

sudo fdisk -l

Luego copias y pegás la salida de dicho comando aquí.

Sorry but my spanish is terrible. If you formulate your questions in english, you get more feedback. You should first check if you still have the windows partition: install gparted and then you can check.

Oh, thanks Guillermo. You beat me. :)

how can I install gparted on my pc and what cain of software is that, I still need help, what can I do wen the pc is boot in up to make it boot in windows, etc like f1 f2 or type something went it's boot in up

I don't know how Ubuntu boot up this is my first time seen it
so I think that wen the pc is booting up it give me a few seconds so I can type some thing to make the change wether is windows xp or Ubuntu

hi, to install gparted:

sudo apt-get install gparted

if you want to put your windows part like default boot device:

sudo apt-get install startupmanager

and find, the button default boot o something like that, and change it to
windows, and its done

good luck buddy

Yo he visto cosas que vosotros no creeríais, naves de ataque en llamas sobre
el hombro Orión. Rayos-C brillar en la oscuridad, cerca de la puerta
Tannhäuser. Todos esos momentos se perderán en el tiempo como lágrimas en la
lluvia. Es hora de morir.

First you have to check if your windows partition is still on your hard drive: if you chose the option "full disk", it is possible that it was deleted. Do as Guillermo said and go to a Terminal: "Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal" and then type

sudo fdisk -l

then it asks for your password, so enter that password. Then please copy and paste the output of that command here. To copy it, use right-click of your mouse.

When the pc is booting, appear the GRUB menu, if this appear for you
(if not appear, press ESC to see the menu), select the system you want
to boot moving with the arrows and press enter to boot
If windows not appear at the end of the list, its possible that you
dont have the windows partition, but also is possible that the
menu.lst archive the "other operating systems" may not have written
check with a live cd of ubuntu that comes with gparted preinstalled,
is in the system > administration menu
if in gparted you can see the windows partition "ntfs" you can add the
boot option in the /boot/grub/menu.lst
