I think it's case sensitive so that should be "root (hd1,1)", not "root
(HD1,1)". I'm not entirely sure, but do it in lowercase just to

You don't have to do any reinstallations.
pop in your ubuntu-live CD and follow these instructions:
1) load up a terminal in live
2) sudo grub
3) type in: 'find /boot/grub/stage1'
4) type in 'root' followed by the info you got in 3 (ie if you got
returned HD(1,1) type 'root (HD1,1)

Indeed... and if you're planning to throw the old Ubuntu disc away and
get a new larger one you might even consider backing up the whole

I have Ubuntu on my Master hard drive and XP as its slave (heh). My hard

If you then install other OSs or reinstall Windows then you might have

If both drives are on the same IDE cable then yes, one is master,
You would just need to set the Ubuntu one as master and the XP one as
slave (not the other way round like you suggested) and when you
reinstall Ubuntu, it should automatically add an entry in GRUB for XP.
If not, post back on this list and I'll tell you what you need to do to
add a GRUB entry.
