Dual boot Ubuntu-Windows XP


Hello,

I have a computer with two Hard-Drives, the first with
Windows XP and the second with Ubuntu Linux.
The boot order is:
Primary Master:Windows XP
Primary Slave: CD-ROM
Secondary Masder:Ubuntu.

The sencond Hard drive is not detected on a cold boot, only after
I press minimum 2 times CTRL-ALT-DEL.
When I turn off LBA mode on the second hard-drive the hard-disk is detected
even on a cold boot but Grub is not loading.
Please help.

Thank you.

did you install grub to mbr for the XP drive or are you chainloading from NTLDR xp bootloader to grub installed on some unknown partition on the drive 2?
