Attach the external HD to the laptop. Turn the laptop on and boot it into Ubuntu. Log into Ubuntu (if necessary). Click on the Applications menu and go to Applications>Terminal. When you reach the terminal, type:

sudo grub-install /dev/hda

The above command executes grub-install as root. The grub-install command installs grub to the Master Boot Record of your internal Hard Drive. Turn off the computer, unplug the external HD, then turn it on again. You should be able to boot into XP or Windows 7

Hope this helps!

What do you mean by where to write? Once you reach the terminal, all you should have is type the following command:

sudo grub-install /dev/hda

and follow the instructions given above.

Can you help with this problem?
