Change the boot order to what it was and try reinstalling Grub to the master MBR:

yeah that didnt work either...

well i guess ill delete the partitions and just keep Win XP and Ubuntu on separate drives for now and switch the boot drive in BIOS when I want to change OS... :/

i reinstalled Ubuntu back onto the 160GB drive and it is working fine. Oh well. Thanks for the help though.

Download supergrubdisk, burn it and boot from it. it should fix your problem.

um, i deleted the linux partitions from my SATA drive, but Win XP still says the drive is only 300GB...

how do i get those 200GB back and make sure all the linux stuff is removed. It wont let me delete the Partition "Extended" from Terminal also.

Use Gparted Live CD:

Burn to disk and boot from it.
