Gutsy/Windows Dual Boot

[John Graddy]

Thanks for the response.

Windows is NOT in the menu.list file.  I ran 'sudo update-grub and it
still does not appear.

I have no idea what is going wrong.  I installed gutsy exactly the same
way I had installed feisty.  The Windows/Feisty system had worked
perfectly for several months.

I have re-installed Windows from scratch and then installed gutsy.  No
success.  I am tempted to reinstall feisty to see if it installs the
dual boot grub successfully.
