Loading UBUNTU on 2nd New hard drive?

[guntherfurlong]

Recently purchased a second Western Digital Hard drive 160Gb. I'm running Win XP on my main hard drive.

I managed to install Ubuntu 7.04 on the new second drive but I am unable to get it to find a proper article that will give me the menu to dual boot btw the two..

Sorry if this has been posted before.. but I'm very new to Linux and wish to explore it...

Thank u in advance..

Within Ubuntu, bring up a terminal and type:
sudo grub

This will give you the grub shell >

To install the GRUB bootloader on the primary disk, type:
setup (hd0)

This will install the GRUB bootloader code within the MBR of the primary drive.

Type quit to exit the GRUB shell.

When you reboot you will be presented the GRUB bootloader.

Thanksfor your prompt reply. I can't get ubunto to load up in the first place. Should I try loading it again via the Ubuntu CD and install GRUB from there?

You should have a space between "setup (hd0)"
