I was thinking of trying to install Window XP in a dual boot fashion but with the purpose of trying to configure wine to use it as it base instead of its normal setup. Only thing is Ubuntu is the sole controller of my laptop here atm and as you know installing XP will remove grub as boot controller. And while I know about SuperGrub I was wondering how, if possible,do I re-install grub from Karmic's LiveCD?

The instructions are here and make sure you follow the ones about grub2 for 9.10, and not grub1 for 9.04 and earlier. Depending what you have.

Also the cd version has to be 9.10 or 9.04 and earlier depending what procedure you are executing.

That could work too. ^.^
