problem dual booting sles 10 and winxp

[hassant]

Hi guys,

I have searched these forums extensively trying to look for a solution to this problem, nothing has worked. hope someone can help

Basically i have 2 hard drives. The 1st drive is an ide drive that has sles 10 installed, the 2nd drive is a sata with windows xp. /boot/grub/device.map looks like this:

(hd0)  /dev/hdc
(hd1)  /dev/sda

with /boot/grub/menu.lst looking like this for the windows part of this file:

title Windows XP
map  (hd0) (hd1)
map  (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify  (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1

The boot menu comes up and if i select sles that boots fine, but if i select windows all it does is display:

map  (hd0) (hd1)
map  (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify  (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1

GRUB loading stage2..

...and hangs there (even after a good 5 mins)

if i comment out rootnoverify (hd0,1) in menu.lst, which apparently undoes what the mapping is supposed to do, i get:

map  (hd0) (hd1)
map  (hd1) (hd0)
makeactive

error 12: invalid device detected

press any key to continue...

when i do so it brings back a boot menu which only allows me to boot sles10.

why is this happening? any ideas on how to get windows to boot happily with sles installed???

thanks a lot in advance

Windows is installed in SATA drive and rootverify should point to that only.
edit menu.lst file.

title Windows XP
map  (hd0) (hd1)
map  (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify  (hd1,0)
makeactive

chainloader +1
