Hi Ravi
Hope following will help
----------------------------------------------------
1) Boot using your live CD :
----------------------------------------------------
. Select " Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer "
. Once you've login to desktop run Terminal ( Application > Accessories
> Terminal )
. Change to root, using this [enter *BOLD* lines] command in Terminal:
ubu...@ubuntu:~$* sudo -i*
r...@ubuntu:~#
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Find Partition location of your Ubuntu:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
r...@ubuntu:~# *fdisk -l*
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x10031003
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 6374 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 6375 19457 105089197+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 6375 11473 40957686 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda6 11474 19457 64131448+ 83 Linux _*<--- Here*_
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Creat mount-point for ubuntu's partition
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r...@ubuntu:~# *mkdir /media/root*
------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Mount the partition using this line
-------------------------------------------------------------
r...@ubuntu:~# *mount /dev/sda6 /media/root*
---------------------------------------------------------------
5) Confirm your root location by typing this line:
--------------------------------------------------------------
o...@ubuntu:~#* ls /media/root*
bin dev initrd.img lib32 media proc selinux tmp vmlinuz
boot etc initrd.img.old lib64 mnt root srv usr vmlinuz.old
cdrom home lib lost+found opt sbin sys var
If those lines above appear, go to the step 6
----------------------------------------------------------------
6) proceed by installing GRUB2
-----------------------------------------------------------
r...@ubuntu:~# *sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda*
Installation finished. No error reported. This is the contents of the
device map
/media/root/boot/grub/device.map. Check if this is correct or not. If
any of the lines is
incorrect, fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'. (hd0) /dev/sda
----------------------------------------
7) Reboot your system
_------------------------------------------
If in any case you do not see windows xp in GRUB menu do the following
steps to resolve the issue _
1) Boot into your ubuntu
2) go to the terminal
( you just need to update you grub so that it can find the windows
installation, this can be done by the following command )
usern...@systemname:~$ *sudo update-grub2*
[sudo] password for ubuntu:
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found Debian background: apollo.tga
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-15-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-15-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found Windows xp (loader) on /dev/sda1
done
3) try reboot again , now you will see windows xp in grub menu
