Karmic installs GRUB2 on the MBR, not GRUB Legacy. The configuration file in
this case is /boot/grub/grub.cfg and the format is quite different when
compared to the earlier version. When you installed Karmic, GRUB2 must have
automatically recognized Windows, but I don't know why it did not happen in
your case. Anyway, you can specify the boot details for Windows in grub.cfg:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
menuentry "Windows XP" {
insmod ntfs
set root=(hd0,1) [Assuming Windows is installed in your first
partition]
chainloader +1
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If this does not work, then:
Reinstall GRUB2:
