To make a long story short: Yes, I had. On a two disk system with one SATA drive and one IDE drive, with Windows XP on the IDE drive and Fedora Core on the SATA drive, the system would always try to boot from the SATA drive. I quickly learned to install GRUB to /dev/sda instead of the default /dev/hda, but it took a few more days to figure out why Windows still refused to boot. The problem was (and is) that the Windows boot loader expects Windows to be installed on the first harddrive, and refuses to boot if this is not the case. Adding map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) between the rootnoverify command and the chainloader command solved the problem by tricking the Windows bootloader into thinking Windows is on the first drive.
