[ubuntu-uk] Vista, XP, Lucid

Trying to figure out what went wrong with an Ubuntu install.

Prior to install

XP on SATA0 160GB
Storage (NTFS) on SATA1, 2x 80GB partitions (how it's been for years)
Vista on PATA0 40GB with boot loader

Then installed 80GB on SATA2 to install ubuntu.  Did install, installed GRUB to this new HD and GRUB points to Ubuntu and Vista.  When I choose Vista to pass on to that boot-loader, I can launch Vista but not launch "an earlier version of Windows" ie XP, it just restarts.

If I interrupt the boot sequence and point it directly at Vista, I can boot "an earlier version of windows" XP.

How can  fix it so I go GRUB --> Vista Boot Loader --> XP??

Cheers

Dave
