The disk layout is like this

/dev/hda1 - Win XP
/dev/hda2 - extended partition
/dev/hda5 - /boot
/dev/hda6 - swap
/dev/hda7 - /
/dev/hda8 - /home
Now, my question, where do I write grub? I believe it's into the
MBR and not into partition 1, correct? If so I'd use:
grub
grub> root (hd0,4)
grub> setup (hd0) (Install GRUB in the MBR)
grub> quit
Is this correct?
Not quite. At least you got the confusing numbering scheme right ;-)
(hd0,4) would be your / partition. But grub expects the partition containing the
grub installation files, which are located on /boot so it should be (hd0,2)
