Hi all,<br>
<br>
I am newbie to linux.<br>
<br>
Two days back I installed ubuntu with windows XP in Toshiba
SatelliteA80-154, notebook. After installing ubuntu, the problem
started. <br>
<br>
When windows XP is chosen to boot up in the grub loader, there is a
kind of splash (some messages are shown for a fraction of sec.) and the
screen is blank!--probably it gets hung!-- It looks like the windows
is busy in booting up, but it does not enter into windows. I do not
understand where the problem is. But I think it may be a problem of
grub loader syntax or something. <br>
<br>
Here I am giving the details of partition list and /boot/grub/menu.lst<br>
<br>
my partition list:<br>
/dev/sda1 -- ext3 <br>
/dev/sda2 -- NTFS (windows C:/)<br>
/dev/sda4 --ext3 (linux OS)<br>
/dev/sda5 -- Windows VFAT <br>
/dev/sda6 --swap <br>
<br>
I could not find much help in online-help. Can anyone please help me out?!<br>
<br>
<br>
=============my grub======== menu.lst looks like this<br>
default 0<br>
