mapping is only needed when going to another hard drive, as windows
needs to think it is on the root system (c). he needs to correct his
partition table as after it goes from cylinder #1275 (where his boot
load flag is), it is looking for #1276 which he has on /dev/hda1, not
/dev/hda5.

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

Your help much appreciated

I had similar issue but I had winxp installed on separate drive.
Anyway I have solved this by modifying grub.conf:
--------
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Pingo Linux (2.6.7-1.494.2.2.pingo.3)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.7-1.494.2.2.pingo.3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb
quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.7-1.494.2.2.pingo.3.img
title Windows XP Pro
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
boot
-----------
So I have done remaping drive. Maybe you can done it also (just change
for your system config)
