WinXP doesn't Bootup after RHL installation
Hello,
I've got a problem loading my WINXP,
After installing the Redhat Linux 7.2 (GRUB, on MBR) on my Pentium 4 1.6GHz system, which already run WinXP sp2 beautifully, the GRUB menu list appears, when I choose RHL 7.2 everything runs fine, but since the Installation of RHL, my WINXP does not load at all, and it gives this message with a blinking cursor,
"Booting Win xp
rootnoverify (hd0,5)
chainloader +1
"
I have tried to change the "(hd0,5)" to "(hd0,1)" , and/or adding the "makeactive" line, none of which worked, here is the system hda and grub.conf detail,
I would appreciate any help (Command, link, hint, anything..)
I would not like to Re-install my RHL and it's virtuall almost impossible to re-install my WinXP, nevertheless let me know what you think,
Thanks in advance,

where is WinXP? In /dev/hda6? or /dev/hda1?
If it is /dev/hda1 you put (hd0,0) in grub.confPut your hand in an oven for a minute and it will be like an hour, sit beside a beautiful woman for an hour and it will be like a minute, that is relativity. --Albert Einstein
