[redd]

Hi,

I have 2 hd IDE. I just want to know step by step how to install GRUB( If needed). Kinda of tired of connecting one when I want windows and connect the other drive when I want 9.04.

Thanks in advance,

Simple.
But it's sometimes not.
If you have your XP CD, then you can always easily restore the XP bootloader to the first BIOS boot drive, and so setting up a dual boot is simple without issues.

The issues:

=see the GRUB page

and Dedo:

This is easy to setup, no big deal, many of us do it, I'm just pointing out that if you ever change your mind and need to restore the XP bootloader, you need the XP CD and/or you can google some methods off the net.

The first link shows you some options.
For example, you can boot the Kubuntu HDD and from there boot XP (XP will be on a non-first HDD -- see the how-to for using the map commands).
