windows XP.

and now I am finding that the following error occurs from the grub
loader when
I choose the windows XP option. what else can I try so I can boot up in
Windows XP?
I have two IDE/ATA Maxtor 300GB drives (6L300R0) and an Asus A7N8X
motherboard.

Probably 2 possibilities, 1) Windows was not in the 1st partition of
the 1st drive
to verify, run (as root) "fdisk -l" this should tell you where your XP
lives.
if it is the first partition (listed as hda1). If (for example) you
find windows in the 1st
partition of your 2nd drive, change the grub line to root (hd1,0).
2) Possibly you have blown out the NT bootloader by, for instance,
installing grub to
/dev/hda1
This is the worse case as the only way I know to get it back is to
re-install windows
(if you choose to do this you may be able to save your files if you
choose not to format
and partition your drive). You will then need to boot into rescue linux
and setup Grub again.
HTH
ACK! Windows XP has a rescue mode which can (probably) fix that
much better than re-installation.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
