    Did you look at the Grub Manual ?

    This error is returned if the kernel image being loaded is not recognized as Multiboot or one of the supported native formats (Linux zImage or bzImage, FreeBSD, or NetBSD).

    Most likely it is due to an incorrect setup for your Windows XP loading in /boot/grub/menu.lst.

    Does your XP section looks like that?
    Code:
    title           Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root            (hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader     +1

    Looking at this thread:
    http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/gen...indows-xp.html

    It gives an idea... what is the output of
    Code:
    fdisk -l
    ?
