(I've never used it before) You should add the following lines at the end of the file /etc7grub/grub.conf: title Windows XP map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 The map mechanismsometimes does not work. You may try to delete the map lines and use hd(1,0) for rootnoverify. Maybe better to use the first hd for windows and the second for linux. Linux is much more capable and configurable. Peter Admittedly I'm using RHEL -3 but my grub sees the XP as MSdos. My xp is on hda and the Linux is on hdb. I also have a /win vfat 2 gig partition on the second drive that both systems can read.
