Solve : XP/Ubuntu on the same hdd?

Answer»

Hey,

Alright, so i installed XP as you normally would, and then i installed Ubuntu and used the first option creating two partitions on the same hard drive.

I realize this isn't the way guides LAY out how to do it, but i didn't THINK to look at anything before i tried it.

So, now I'm ABLE to start up Ubuntu just fine, but when i choose the option of XP it just stays on the STARTING up screen forever. Not the windows starting up screen, but the dual boot menu start up screen.

It still has all the files on the XP partition, i can see them through Ubuntu, but it just won't start up in XP.

I can just redo it the right way, but in order to know how big I was going to have to make the two partitions i loaded all of my programs and files onto XP before hand, and now it would just be a pain to do it all again.

Is there an easy way out of this, or am I going to have to reinstall them both?
