So i selected that and completed the installation.
But it is still not starting . When i reboot it is asking same question 'Insert proper disk'.
Both my XP and ubuntu are not displayed by the boot loader.

Any guidelines for GRUB installation?
If you are using the live 7.10 version of ubuntu select the manual option for partitioning. Instead of the hd0 you would choose the ext3 extended partition by placing a check in the box seen in the line itself. When clicking forward you will prompted to specify a definer where you choose "/" from another dropdown list and ok on the popup followed by the forward again.

Appendix A How to obtain and build GRUB http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/man...-Building-GRUB

15.2 How to install GRUB via grub http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/man...ion-under-UNIX

Those are from the Grub manual seen at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html
