hey guys,
so i have 1 hard drive, 3 partitions
1.vista
2.xp
3.vista recovery that came with laptop
i erased vista partition and put kubuntu on it.
the problem is that grub did not detect xp it just picked up the recovery partition.
i assume this is becuz kubuntu wrote over the xp boot files.
so i try fixboot off the xp cd no luck.
now i'm messing with /boot/grub/menu.lst
i've done this before on my gf laptop so i could have another unix machine available. but its not working for me this time.
this is not my exact code but its close enough for you guys to tell me if i'm missing something. I left off the ubuntu part cuz it works fine

Error12: invalid device request
