Before installing Ubuntu 12.04, Windows XP with three drives were there. I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit in of the three drives which I've mentioned above, installation went fine but after installation Dual boot screen is not showing, windows is automatically loading.

I've tried answers which are found here and other Ubuntu forums but non of them is worked for me. From forums what I came to know is,Grub missing. To install or to repair it, I'm unable to login to Ubuntu, then how can upgrade grub in ubuntu.

You can repair Grub by booting an Ubuntu Live-CD and using the program "Boot-Repair".

If you have an Internet connection you can just insert your Ubuntu CD (the one you used for installing ubuntu 12.04) and select "Try Ubuntu". It will then boot a live environment of Ubuntu from the CD.
Here you can install Boot-Repair via the Terminal. Type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair

After that launch Boot-Repair and select "Recommended Repair".
That should do the trick and reconfigure/-install Grub.

Good luck! :)
