The first drive would have Ubuntu and the second rive would have my new XP.  My concern is that the computer looks to the first drive for the boot.ini (and other windows boot files) to give me my current dual-boot option.

	No Problem. Get the Ubuntu version you want from the Ubuntu 
web page and make a cd-rom with the file. Then using the 
"Live-CD" choose to do a manual selection of where to put 
Ubuntu and put it on top of the old XP. Also tell it to format 
that.
