Can't seem to get dual booting

I hope I did not overlook my solution in the forum search but I am having an interesting dual-boot problem, Ill give you a history of what I have done so far first:

I installed Windows XP on one of my 2 Sata drives (disk1 below) then I installed Kalyway on disk 0. I could not get windows to alow me into OSX after a few attempts but finally it switched over to booting OSX after a reinstall os OSX. I was satisfied and decided that I would now install Ubuntu on another partiton of disk 0 thinking I would just set up grub to handle my triple booting. Odly, after installing, it booted me into Windows skiping grub alltogther. So I changed my boot disk with Partition Magic's boot selector to the OSX partition and OSX came up nicely, still no grub (Windows and OSX were my only choices). Now I tired to change what to boot from by pressing F8 at boot time and was given 2 choices only; OSX and unidentified, I select unidentified and it gave some error about NTLDR not being found...It appears I am stuck with just OSX right now and I am not having much luck searching for a way to get things strait.

 

Thank you in advance for any help that you might be able to provide,

Jason
