How to get rid of windows boot loader?

I previously had win xp pro and win server 2003 installed on my computer, and the windows boot loader to choose between them. I just installed ubuntu linux, and it installed the grub boot loader. The problem is, there is only one windows option there, and it takes me to the windows boot loader, so it's a 2 step process to boot into windows.

I want to remove the windows boot loader from my system completely, and have an option for win xp pro and win server 2003 in the grub boot loader. Anyone know how to do this?
 
Where did you install grub to? My guess is it wasn't the /mbr of your main drive. Installing grub to the /mbr of that drive will overwrite the windows boot loader, and then you just have to edit your grub.conf file appropriately to point to the windows partitions.
 
I'm not sure where i installed it, i just when through the ubunto installer. I doubt it would have went to my second hard drive though, i don't even have an OS installed there.
