Right click on partition sda5, tick the boot flag (to activate it).
OK, I did what you suggested and a box came up with quite a few options. I ticked the box "boot".
The computer boots as it did before. Windows XP tries to start, but then goes right back to the boot option screen wh/ere I have to start it in Ubuntu, just like before.
Here is the latest Boot repair results URL and also the screen of the latest GParted results.

You can see here that the boot has been moved to sda5. Don't know what that means or what it did.:?

Thanks for the help so far guys. I am determined to try to get this thing working.
