Failure of windows after installing grub
I have a dual boot running Win XP & Gutsy. I reinstalled my Windows. This overwrited my Grub. I did a install again.
Now Grub is booting up. But Windows is not loading up. I think i have made something wrong by setting up Grub in a different partition. I tried running this in grub to check the root partition
find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd0,2)
This is my output of fdisk:
