My uninformed guess is that Fedora was confused by the use of RAID and
wrote grub.conf incorrectly.
1) Were you able to boot Slackware before installing Fedora?
2) GRUB has a pretty good manual that is only something like eight pages
long. Get familiar that and make a stand-alone generic GRUB boot floppy
or CD (maybe you have to dd or rawrite a floppy or CD image?). Boot
that and get to know the interactive GURB system. It has facilities for
listing the contents of disk partitions. You should be able to boot XP
easily from the GRUB prompt. See that you understand GRUB's
nomenclature for referring to drives and partitions and files. Then see
that the contents of grub.conf is consistent with that.
