Alok, to add to Sharad's and Robin's suggestions, in case you see the Windows partition with fdisk, the menu.lst syntax is: for a partition on /dev/sda2 on my laptop, the corresponding entry is: title Microsoft Windows XP Professional root (hd0,1) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 I do not understand this syntax too well, and I haven't taken the well-known advice: RTFM - `Read The Fine Manual', either. Ubuntu's default grub configurer missed out one Windows partition for me, and rendered another one non-bootable. When I tried editing it by hand, it was status quo once again.
