you could try adding the option "makeactive" to your xp stanza, but I
would think your problem is with the partitioning itself as you can see
they are not in order. Also, do you have grub installed to the mbr or to
hda4?

Hi there,
just installed Fedora Core3, but now I have an issue booting WinXP.
WinXP is installed on hda5, so my grub.conf reads:
---------------------------------------------
title WinXP
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
chainloader +1
---------------------------------------------
however, upon trying to boot WinXP, I get the output
Booting 'WinXP'
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
chainloader +1
and then it hangs.
Has anyone experienced this before or came across a solution for this.
I have re-installed Fedora, however this did not change anything.
This is the output of fdisk -l
