I have my computer set up with 2 x 40 gig IDE HDs and a 500 gig SATA HD. The Primary IDE has Windows XP on it, the secondary has Ubuntu and the SATA is used for picture storage etc.

The Master drive up and died (it make a mechanical clicking sound and the BIOS doesn't see it anymore). I got a new drive, when I install XP on it, my Grub boot-loader will be gone. How do I reinstall the boot-loader w/o reinstall Ubuntu?

Thank you,
Brad
