ask about grub-install

[Nofriyadi Nurdam]

Thanks Ajay for your kindness.
A friend of me said, i should repair windows XP first, and after that i could execute the command grub-install /dev/hda. He told, if i do not repair windows XP first, the GRUB can present only Windows ME and RH9 and windows XP would not be showed in the choice list.
Is his oppinion correct?

nothing just check 
grub-install /dev/hda
 
it wiil install grub (mbr) in first sector of your harddisk
 
if u use grub-install /dev/hda1
it may work and will install grub in first sector of your partition 
 
but former is better
 
try it!

Thanks for the answer.
i am confused with numbering of hda. There are hda0, hda1, hda2 and so on.
Which one should i use?
