Take a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst It's well documented and should give you the information you need to make that happen.

hi,

the following directions are intended for ubuntu 9.04 or earlier. for 9.10, these directions will not apply.

well, if you uninstalled ubuntu your winxp probably is no longer booting...

assuming you have not yet done that, or have reinstalled ubuntu 9.04 of earlier:

install 'bootup manager'. it is a graphical tool that lets you tweak these settings.
