Bug Description

I have a system with an ASUS Motherboard, 2 hard drives (both 160GB), and
Windows XP on the first drive. I attempted to install Ubuntu on the slave
drive. After doing so, GRUB did not recognize Windows XP and would only boot to
Ubuntu. Ubuntu worked fine otherwise. Is there a fix so that GRUB will
recognize Windows XP ont he first drive and allow me to boot to it if I so
desire? I was able to recover the MBR by using a Windows restore/repair of the
MBR but, of course, I lost the ability to boot Ubuntu.
