Thanks a million, from JahuroCheck out the Ubuntu forums, there's a guide somewhere on how to dual boot with XP and Ubuntu with Ubuntu on first, which is essentially what you're trying to do.

here is a decent guide
win xp LIKES to dominate... you have to edit your boot.ini file. if your dual booting windows and ubuntu like i am it should look like this:

[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)PARTITION(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition"/noexecute=optin /fastdetect
c:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu"



the PART that says [boot loader] decides what AUTOMATICALLY runs if the timeout=15 runs out... in my case its win xp

the two options to run multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition"/noexecute=optin /fastdetect and c:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu"


my instructions are vague i know... but just google boot.ini ubuntu
