What do you mean?
Grub is needed to boot Ubuntu!!!!

Did you install XP and Ubuntu on the same HDD? Do you want to get back to the windows bootloader??? If so......then boot from the XP cd and chose recovery console

Then run the command "fixmbr" then reboot the pc....
If you do this then you won't be able to boot into Linux anymore, unless you create a boot floppy or use the Ubuntu to boot into Linux....
