Hi Richard E. Barmann!

I have never done an XP dual boot.  I seem to remember that
"rootnoverify" is often in the stanza (e.g.):

grub> rootnoverify (hd0,0)
grub> makeactive
grub> chainloader +1
grub> boot

For you of course it would be (hd1,0) apparently.

I took the example from:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4622

Which appears to be a fair tutorial.

Good Hunting!
