upgrade k10.10 to k12.04 from live cd

[ray burke]

Nils and others,

I have Kppp installed already but would not work, but after several
reboots it is working
as I am on dial-up now in k12.04 sending this email!
At the moment I  have my other sata 500gb (4 partition) disk
disconnected, of which
one 116gb part is xp pro sp3 at address on /dev/sdb5.
it was showing with my dual booted xp pro sp3 and k10.10 in grub 1.98
address as windows NT/2000/XP (on /dev/sdb5), so how can I create a grub showing
my 2 disk with xp pro like in the grub 1.98, or can I create grub 1.98?
