Hello Ultimate Edition Forums,

I have a question..... I have 2 hard drives, 1 is a 500gb and i use it for storage and Ultimate.
As for my other one i use it for XP SP3.
Grub works the first time, but when i select to boot into windows grub doesn't show again.

So maybe if i install grub on the windows partition all will be dandy, do you have any ideas?

Care to elaborate on the solution so all may know?

Well, I had my Computer setup like this

500gb Sata HDD = 3 Partitions: Windows 7, Data and Ubuntu
60 GB HDD = 1 Partition: Windows XP

Grub wouldnt start the second time after i chose the XP option in grub the first time (If that makes any sense at all)
Then Moebius came to my PC and said "Hey! why dont you just have your 500gb hdd for Data and your 60 Side by Side XP and Ultimate"
We gave that a shot and Voila grub worked.

Not the way i had planed but it had still come to a peaceful and happy solution.
