Dual booting problem with XP-Pro
Hi Everyone,
I was using XP-Home along with Ubuntu (dual booting) in my laptop. At the booting screen the Grub loader used to show me like this-
- Ubuntu
- Other operating system
Inside 'Other operating system' I used to find 'XP- Home'. Oflate I installed XP-Professional and there I faced the problem. Now I cant see the Ububtu wehen the Laptop boots. Now in the booting screen it displays only two OS-
- XP-Professional.
- XP-Home.
The Grub Loader is not working I guess. While installing XP-Pro I thought it would come under 'Other operating system' category. Now I'm facing this problem. Is there any way to rectify this ? Do I need to work on grub loader or Boot file (of XP-Pro). How can I force XP-pro to recognise the Ubuntu's presence. I need my Ubuntu badly and I dont want to reinstall it as it would mean data loss !
Please help me. Thanking you in anticipation.
