I seem to remember that I had to use a "hide" directive to make Windows
think that it was booting from the "C" drive, or the first drive in the
list.
In your case, I guess you'd have something like the following, assuming
you have two partitions per sata/scsi disk.
title Fussy OS
hide (hd0,0)
hide (hd0,1)
hide (hd1,0)
hide (hd1,1)
rootnoverify (hd2,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
I think I only had to hide one partition, but I only had one disk and
may have had one giant ext3 partition for Linux.
Googling for hide, grub, Windows got me this
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Multiboot-with-GRUB.html
I notice in that page, they have makeactive after the chainloader.
Hope that helps,
Mark C.

Does anybody have a solution to my problem.
I had a dual boot setup winxp/fedora and was able to startup fine,
although originally I had to setup grub manually to boot winxp but the
main thing is it worked. Unfortunately over the weekend I nuked my
fedora drive which had the grub.conf on it and now cannot remember how
to get the damn thing setup again.
The drive config is as follows:
sda - fedora
sdb - fedora
hde and hdg (raid/striped) winxp
I am assuming that the grub.conf would have the win boot as:
rootnoverify (hd2,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
I would appreciate it if someone could point out if that is incorrect.
Cheers and thanks in advcance to all who reply.
