I installed Ubuntu and after the installation, i can't boot to XP. When i choose XP from the Grub menu, I got black screen for like 30 sec, and then it returns to the Grub menu.

Thanks!

Try booting ubuntu then type the command 'sudo update-grub' in the terminal to reconfigure grub2. – edm Mar 25 '12 at 15:10

@yinon - the way that you bump the question is to reedit it with further information to move it up the activity list. If it is important to you, then you can also raise a bounty on the question. – fossfreedom♦ Mar 27 '12 at 9:35

@yinon there is a Restore MBR checkbox in the Main options tab. You need to click that in order to enable the MBR options. Not sure if the information is still needed, just mentioning. – Alexandre Apr 23 '12 at 0:43
