HDD GURU FORUMS

Im hoping some linux guy comes across this post, as ive spent the last 14 hours messing with all kinds of installation and still not got it working, ye u heard rite.. 14h.. im off to bed but before I thought y not post it here.

My problem is :

Grub Bootloader do not want to load after I installed Linux Ubuntu on it, ive reinstalled many of times but it just wont load. Im adding it to the MBR /dev/sda but still win xp just keeps booting up for me.

DISK 1 - Linux <- That I cant launch due to the bootloader not working
DISK 2 - Windows XP Installation <- fully working

Any ideas, pls post em here. Gnite ;(

bios set to boot DISK 1/dev/sda ?
