Re: Can't get to windows

You just need to include a boot entry for Windows in your boot menu.
The boot menu is in Kubuntu and called /boot/grub/menu.lst.
You must edit it as root.
You must first know where your XP is on your hard disk – what partition is it in? you have just one hard drive? If so, in Kubuntu, open K > System > Konsole and type this command (followed by Enter):
sudo fdisk -lu

If it says Windows is on sda1, then that is the same as (hd0,0).

Open Konqueror In Kubuntu.
Type / in the location window at the top, press Enter.
Click boot.
Right-click grub (folder).
Actions > Edit as Root.
In menu.lst, add this to the bottom (after *** End Automagic kernels list):

title Windows XP
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Then File>Save and File>Quit.
Exit Kubuntu = > Restart to test it.

If that doesn't work, post back and include the output from
sudo fdisk -lu
so someone can help further.
