Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html>. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems. <http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures> Thanks!

Please show us you /etc/fstab, /boot/grub/menu.lst. Thank you.

Dear Caspar
I loaded ubuntu a few weeks ago and was able to load ubuntu or xp when i
booted up , now there is a list of ubuntu options which i assume is the
different updates, ( every time i use it does some updating the latest
yesterday thats when i lost the dual boot option ) But no xp windows option
the xp option has disappeared on the start up menu . I received the ubuntu
which was on a disc included with a pc magazine .
hope this is ok

Thanks for your reply. We need to make sure that you have accidently overridden your Windows partition or advised the boot loader bu chance not to display your windows partition as it would be a support question and not a official bug then.

Please provide me with the following information:

/boot/grub/menu.lst (attach to this thread)
/etc/fstab (attach to this thread)

A list of your partitions. You can get this by opening a command line interface and typing:

sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda
or
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

(or any other device that your hard disk is)

Thank you in advance.

 /dev/hda6 690.26 MiB
