Dual Boot Issue!
Hey before I go further I want to let you know this is a great OS! That said I am having some difficulty resolving an issue that is presenting lightly differently on pc than what I have read on others. I have been using Ubuntu for just a little less than a year and I have had my hard drive partitioned to have both Linux and Windows XP available as valid start up choices in the boot menu on my system. when I turn it on after it runs hardware and component detection it gives me a menu to choose which installation and or OS I would like to start. I Just recently updated to Lucid Lynx and that OS is working fine but while the option remains on my boot menu windows will no longer load. I can find my program files as they are visible on my "other drive" in Ubuntu, I know that it is still there. I also know from reading that this was a bug from the new build. I'm not disillusioned with Ubuntu I still think it is the best OS that I've ever used but I still need windows to run some software that will not work in Linux. Can someone please walk me through installing a patch that will restore my ability to boot Windows? If it helps, I installed 10.04 as an update while running 9.10 and I do not know what version of Grub I was Running but It all still worked until the update.
