thanx for the reply guys i solved my problem.
actually i had partitioned my new samsung drive(using win2000 installation cd) into 10-30 partitions and within that 10gb partition wanted to install linux partitions thus i got error message.
thus i deleted the partitions so that i had full 40 GB for usage then i tried creating linux partitions on it and it worked!
now my linux is on slave drive but only the boot loader(GRUB) is on MBR, and it also recognises XP.
