I do not get the option to boot Windows XP

Asked by Vivek

I installed Ubuntu with Windows XP. When I boot, I do not get an option for Windows. Msg on screen is 'Input Signal Out of Range' set resolution to 1280X1024 - 60 Hz, which has already been set. I think the option is there but not visible on my screen.

Thanks Andrew. Where do I input this boot option ? I am a layman for PCs, so could you please give me more directions. Thanks again.
