2. ubuntu ....
3. ubuntu ....
4. memory test ...
5. memory test ...
6. dell utility partition
if pick first option, says 'unknown command 'chainloader +1'.
starts ubuntu without problem.
how can fix can boot windows xp? not expert in ubuntu, , son not know enough either fix it. new forum. if not right subgroup, please forward right subgroup. also, please send me email instructions.
thank you help.

while in linux can run command , post output? list of disks/partitions , type. purpose see if windows xp partition still there or not.

code:
sudo fdisk -l
if windows xp partition still there (probably ntfs type) updating grub should fix issue. update grub run command below (and restart when completes). @ installed operating systems , kernels , rebuild menu scratch.

code:
sudo update-grub
if windows xp partition isn't there anymore that's story, in case have windows xp install disc or factory recovery disc around somewhere.
