Above link applies for grub-legacy. Hopefully, Mike, you have been 
careful when repartitioning with gparted and not messsed up your ubuntu 
when you resize it to half. If that happens, you may have to reinstall 
Ubuntu again. If you had been careful, your UUID will have been changed 
anyway and if you are successful in resurrecting  Ubuntu, make sure 
you've got the correct UUID no at menu.lst BEFORE logging off. Check 
with "sudo blkid".

Do not proceed with above if you have grub2 instead. Let us know.




Thanks guys, I was following the tutorial from the link and I have been quite successful. Now I'm just trying to configure menu.lst I have gotten windows xp to show up on the grub menu but I didn't configure the (hd0,0) part right. I'm not sure which part of the hdd windows is on.
