Lubuntu 10.10

I duel booted Lubuntu10.10/xp and all went fine until i updated L and then i lost the duel boot to xp, (I got xp back by running 'fixmbr').
I would like to know how to fix L so i dont lose the duel boot after updating.
At the present i dont have L installed but if i need to install it to help find the answer i will no problem.
thanks,

i have installed Lubuntu again.

 

if you have a desktop best thing is put both linux and windows on different hardisk but any how if you have one hardisk then please check the way you have install it if you install the grub(linux boot loader) then you have to put the path of xp in its grub

Lubuntu Dual Booters - No Windows Menu

Lubuntu apparently doesn't ship with the package os-prober so Windows will not be added to the Grub 2 menu. To add Windows, install os-prober, update grub and then check to see if Windows is now in the menu:
Code:

sudo apt-get install os-prober
sudo update-grub
grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg
