n Will my XP work after that or only Ubuntu

[YouKnowWho]

No one will dominate anybody.
At startup while booting you will have two options-XP and Ubuntu.
Select one and hit enter

You will see a few I think 4 options of Ubuntu grub and the last will be of XP...

But remember the sequence- First Xp and then only Ubuntu, Otherwise, XP WILL dominate Ubuntu!!! (I've faced this.)

Oh yes I remember there will be 4 options.
BTW, you can decide the line-up i.e first XP and then Ubuntu.
I don't know how but my bro had did it.
I think he googled it
