I had Windows XP installed without partitioned hard drive, and partitioned and installed Ubuntu with the Ubuntu live cd. There is no menu at startup for which operating system; it just boots up Ubuntu. Suggestions?

1Can you go to System->Administration->Disk Utility, click on your hard disk in the left hand column then add a screenshot of this to your answer so that we can see what partitions you have?– dv3500eaJan 14, 2011 at 21:39

1@user8911: What method of partitioning did you select? I'm afraid that Windows XP partition has been over-written/corrupted.– SidJan 14, 2011 at 21:45

Maybe it didn't pick up XP during the installation. In Ubuntu, click Applications > Accessories > Terminal
and then type:
sudo update-grub
This will update the GRUB menu. If it says something like:
Found Windows XP (loader) on /dev/sda1
then you should be able to choose between XP and Ubuntu during your next boot.
