    If XP was installed to the "C:\" drive, then you may have to map the
    drives.

              map (hd0) (hd1)
              map (hd1) (hd0)
    This is done in grub.conf. Be sure also that chainloader +1 is on that
    line.
    I had to do this for a Win2k partition that used to be the master. I put
    it in as the second drive and did the map commands in grub and it boots
    just as if it was the primary.

    And as always, to learn more on grub, info grub. The info program will
    bring up the whole manual on grub.
