Jake.

I hope that I am not confusing things, but, if you are starting again 
with XP and Ubuntu, this is what I have done. I think that it is a 
very 'safe' method!

I have two hard drives in my machine. hda has an XP installation on it. 
I had this before I added the second hard drive.

When I was ready to install Ubuntu, I disconnected the XP hard drive for 
safety. Then I installed Ubuntu. As there was only hdb connected, 
Ubuntu installed itself on to this drive, putting grub on to the hdb 
MBR.

Then I reconnected hda.

I now have the two operating systems, completely separate, on their own 
hard drive.

When I start the computer, while the BIOS is booting, I press F8. (This 
is for my motherboard, others may require a different key to be 
pressed). Up comes a menu to select whether I want to boot hda, hdb, 
either of my two DVD drives, or my floppy drive. So I can choose 
whether to run XP on hda, or Linux on hdb.

Just an idea for you.

Keith.
