I am attempting to set up a new PC with Windows XP Pro and Xubuntu<br>
12.04. XP Pro was installed followed by Xubuntu. The computer was then<br>
re-booted but, instead of getting a list to choose the operating system<br>
from, the PC went straight into XP Pro. Presumably something is<br>
preventing Grub from working correctly and I would be grateful for<br>
suggestions on how to deal with the problem. Thanks in advance<br>

So, if you reinstall make sure that grub is installed to sda.<br>
