hey guys,
So i broke the golden rule "If it's not broken, don't fix it". i decided to update my bios fully knowing that it would screw up my triple boot, but i did it anyway. So now I'm stuck i cant get any of the OS's to boot. I am running windows XP, windows XP x64, and ubuntu x64. The only thing i get when i start the computer is the post screen and the grub boot loader, however each op-system won't boot. When i try to choose ubuntu it tells me that there is no such partition, if i try the windows it tells me that the NTLDR is missing. If anyone knows how i can fix this i would really appreciate it. i looked it up before wrote this but i could only find something that would get xp to work. I did get XP to boot, but i still can not get the other two OS to run. I really don't want to re-install everything, hope some one can help...

Windows XP and Windows XP x64 are on first hard drive.
Ubuntu is on second hard drive.

Thanks for any help!
 
bios update should not mess with a partition unless it might be on a raid setup. Try making sure your boot order is in the the proper order.
 
Agreed. Even inserting a flash drive can throw off your boot order some times. Check boot order and fixboot in the order of OS installed
 
Thanks guys, you were right it was the boot order. I didn't even think to look at that. Thanks again.
