Can not boot windows xp
Installed Ubuntu 7.10 , It works just fine. All OS are visible at grub, when trying to start windows xp the only thing happening is "Error 12: Invalid device request". I'm new on Linux and Ubuntu. Here are menu.lst and fdisk -l
fdisk -l, sorry for the Swedish.

## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default 0
## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 10

## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z

## kopt_2_
## kopt_2_

## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative
## lockalternative
