booting problems

hi


i recently installed fedora core 4 on my hp pavilion
810 pc which has windows xp

before the i also created swap and install partions
for linux and went to installation

i choosed the grub bootloader and windows as default
and every thing worked smoothly

and after the installation the system rebooted and
when i pressed enter on keyboard the

grub bootloader showed fedora 4 and windows but when i
booted by selecting the

windows option instead of windows xp the system boots in
to the sytems recovery partion


configured by hp as a result i can't boot in to xp but
fedora has no problems

my hp system has two partions C and D in which C is
the main partition and D

is the recovery partition which is used for recovering system when
system is unbootable or any other sytem failiure it is accessed by
pressing F10 on the keyboard while system boot screen shows
IT can reinstall xp on to the C drive by formating the drive again

to install i bought a new 80 gb hard disk and partioned it with windows
diskmanagement tool

and created the swap and main partion for linux.


my real problem is how can boot in to xp and what is the cause for
this??



please help
