This is a brilliant guide: http://www.hevnikov.com/blog/2006/11...e-boot-screen/

You need only follow the section for the Windows XP and Ubunutu (Kubuntu should be the same) MBR.

i.e. Creating the ubuntu.bin file (call yours kubuntu.bin) within Linux and then pointing the Windows XP MBR to it from within XP.

The method I directed you to is free and doesn't require any 3rd party software, but its good to hear that you got it working.
