XP and Ubuntu bootloader issue

I made the jump to linux this weekend, and installed Ubuntu Edgy Eft on
my primary SATA drive (sda1). Everything is working well, but the
Wine/ATI issue prevented me from running World of Warcraft for long, so
I installed a second HD (sdb1) and tried to install windows. XP
wouldn't install because the primary drive was unrecognizable, so I
removed the linux drives power and installed windows. Now both work
correctly, but the computer boots straight to XP. If I tell the bios
during bootup to pick sda1 instead of just booting off the hard drives
I get grub and can get into Ubuntu. How do I fix this so I get a
bootloader (I don't care if its windows or grub), and can default into
Ubuntu?
