I want to remove my second hard disk (sdb) which has two partitions used
for data. The stuff I want I have moved over to free space on sda.
According to gparted, sda1 (XP) is the boot partition. sda5 is the linux
partition.

When I disconnected the second disk, on boot I got the message 'No
Operating System' or something of that ilk. No Grub menu, nothing.

Any idea what went wrong?

Sounds like the boot records are the 2nd drive, With the 2nd drive removed. You should be able to boot from a live CD and select the rescue option then pick reinstall grub (Thats how I would do it on Ubuntu, I guess Kubuntu would be the same)
