    Hi,

    I really hope this time this message gets to the group. Anyway, I'm
    having difficult getting the right commands in my grub.conf file to
    chainload Windoze. I'll provide, below, my grub.conf file. Basically,
    the way I have it now results in the boot process simply stopping after
    grub dumps the Windows XP section to stdout (or stderr). As you'll see,
    I've commented the lines that remap my hard drives. I have my BIOS
    setup to use my SATA drive (with Linux) to be drive 1 and my EIDE drive
    to be drive 2 (after reading the grub manual, I thought I'd need them).
      However, with the map commands, the boot process still hangs and in
    addition to dumping the Windows XP section, I see "GRUB" on the screen.
      So, what gives? What am I missing? Below is my grub.conf.
