Grub wont load XP

[djXternal]

Well I'm almost finaished getting everything up and running on this sytem, my last problem is now that I have Vista and Fedora 7 running and bootable, I installed XP, restored the MBR to grub and set the location to boot XP from as hd0,1 (Second partition on first drive) Vista is hd0,0 and F7 is hd2,0

My problem is that Grub wont load XP it just displays the commends....

Booting 'Windows XP'

rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1

and just sits there

EDIT:
Just learned that now, when I select Vista in the bootloader it actually loads XP, not Vista

May we have a moment of silence for Vista, which may have been overwritten. How about posting the results (as root; su -) of 'fdisk -l'.

[glennzo]

Post the output of the command /sbin/fdisk -l and the command cat /boot/grub/menu.lst. I'm sure we can set you straight.

I'm with Bob. Vista might just have been overwritten. Can you boot XP and have a look at the rest of the first drive, as in the partition that Vista 'might' be on? Are there any files there? Or if in Linux mount the partition and have a look see.

[bob]

Here's what I think is the solution: http://apcmag.com/5485/dualbooting_vista_and_xp Check out the info under "restoring Vista and dual-booting". You need to get the Vista bootloader instead of the XP bootloader and then have grub pass the boot to Vista where you can make a choice of XP/Vista.

Glennzo, it's really just the case of XP's bootloader being dumb as a box of rocks and not recognizing Vista. Who'd a thunk you'd EVER dual-boot two versions of Windows? Certainly not the boys at MS!

mounted in linux and it appears everything is still intact
