At last - a simple and foolproof guide to setting up dual booting xp and ubuntu.  With many of the other guides they all go well until you get to the bit that you have to --

Make a file containing data copied from the boot sector of your Linux drive (substitute your Linux drive designation if it is not /dev/hda2):

At this point my brain goes dead and I know why a lot of people are put off trying a Linux OS.  Luckily Ubuntu is now much more user friendly  and migrating from xp far easier.

Thanks
