Working on making a dual boot again, WinXP & Ubuntu 504

Nehmo - I know MBR is Master Boot Record. Apparently it's on C with Windows. there's one there too. But I think I can't boot off that one because it's on the second parbreastion of the disk 2 and the BIOS looks for the MBR on the first parbreastion of the disk. Am I right?

But I made 50 MB FAT32 parbreastion at the beginning of that disk. I thought I was going to install BootMagic there. So I should install Grub there instead? How do I go about doing that? When I run the Ubuntu install program that's on the ISO, will it ask me where I want to install Grub?

What I downloaded was ubuntu-5.10-install-i386.iso

So what exactly do I do, do I mount that via Windows using Daemon Tools, and then run an installation program that's on that iso?

Nehmo - I Currently have the BIOS set for first boot device to be the little hard disk that Windows in on, C. Do I keep it that way?

Nehmo - I'm sure after I get going, what you just wrote will seem simple to me, but at this point, I don't understand what it is. Are you saying I should make a text file containing what you wrote and breastle it menu.lst and put it inboot-grub-? When am I supposed to do this? After Ubuntu is successfully installed? I can't see how I can do it now; I'm running Windows on NTFS.
