#1130 — disk and partition with NTFS

How can I check on which disk and partition I have NTFS with Windows
XP? I need this information for GRUB in my Ubuntu. I have 3 disks and
meny partitions and I don't remember where I have NTFS. "fdisk -l"
shows nothing. "ls /dev/sd*" shows:
/dev/sda   /dev/sdb   /dev/sdb2  /dev/sdb6  /dev/sdc1
/dev/sda1  /dev/sdb1  /dev/sdb5  /dev/sdc   /dev/sdc2
I tried every device to write it into /etc/grub.d/40_custom but
Windows XP didn't start.

If you mean that literally outputs nothing, then you need to run it as
root.

It works now. Thank you.
I have two NTFS partitions sda1 and sdc1. I suspect that I have
Windows XP on sda1.
Should I write
  menuentry "Windows XP" { set root='(hd0,0)' chainloader +1 }
into /etc/grub.d/40_custom and use "sudo update-grub2"?

Neither root='(hd0,0)' nor root='(hd1,1)' works - Windows XP doesn't
start.

You should not need to write it into 40_custom because it should
be automagically detected.

Have you tried running  update-grub2  as root?
