I read somewhere that windows wants to be booted from the first drive and that it wont work if it isnt. It just a guess but anyway. the olution to the problem was to put in these 2 lines after title= in grub.conf(menu.lst?) if you are using grub.
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
I noticed now that you also are missing one line. between roonoverify (hd1,0) and chainloader +1. it should stand makeactive, making the conf look like this:
title=Windows XP
map (hd1) (hd0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
rootnoverify (hd0,0) # maybe (hd1,0)?
makeactive
chainloader +1
Hope it helps
