Can't boot Windows Xp after intalling Ubuntu 12.04
- by Omul Neted
Here's the situation. I installed Ubuntu using the along side option. Everything went ok. When I restarted I went strait to Ubuntu and it worked beautifully. When I restarted and tried to enter windows, the loading screen appeared, and after 3 -4 seconds it restarted again. No error, no cursor waiting, no nothing.
I looked on the internet for help and found several resources.
I tried first lilo since it seemes that many people had they're issues solved with it.
After lilo neither ubuntu nor Windows would start.
I installed and used bootinfoscript. The RESULTS.txt can be seen below

After that I looked at
Boot-Repair
I did as instructed here
Can't boot XP after Ubuntu Installation, how to fix?
,meaning I redid the mbr of my Ubuntu install using a generic mbr.
with no success. The results of boot-repair are in the first link.
Now when I restart my computer I don't even get the windows loading screen, just
Missing operating system
Missing operation system
Operating system not found
that's it.
I did not use the fixboot or fixmbr option because I don't have a windows cd cabable of seeing my hdd drivers. The usual XP windows setup tells me that I have no hdd.
Please help, I don't know what to to next. This is my first time with Ubuntu or any Linux OS.
