Before installation were you aware of the xp dual boot bug?

I believe you mentioned that xp wouldn't load, which is what the bug causes.

Since you ghosted it to fix xp, grub was erased.

So you would need to reinstall grub.

I would see http://lwn.net/Articles/86835/ for how to start the installer to get around it (the bug I mean).

Although I am not exactly sure how to just install grub... I would google on that.  If you do end up using the installer, I would do as the article above mentions.
