[Linux-disciples] Dual boot

I have a SATA harddrive with a working Ubuntu installation on my computer. 
Unfortunately, I have need for winXP. So, I have an IDE drive laying around 
here which I intend on plugging into my desktop and installing windows on. 
In the past, I have had problems with grub being confused because of 2 mbr's 
or some such nonsense. So, my question is, can anyone point me to the most 
elegant way of plugging in the drive and installing xp and keeping grub in 
the know of what is going on and be reasonably sure that xp doesn't mess 
with the SATA drive at all.
