windows XP , GRUB and Redhat 9.0

windows XP , GRUB and Redhat 9.0

[karthi.bala]

Hi,
When i select windows in my GRUB menu to enter XP, i am unable to enter.
where could be the problem ??
I did get links, but no perfect links. Fedora has told it as a bug
and given some methods with respect to sfdisk.
what about Redhat 9.0 and Windows XP with GRUB ?  How to enter into
my XP with GRUB ? 

I have the problem here.
It displays --->
Booting 'WINDOW'
rootnoverify(hd0,0)
chainloader+1
GRUB

and thats all, WINDOWS XP does not boot
and load - when i select 'WINDOW' in the GRUB menu. I am unable to go
into XP now.

How to overcome the problem. Should
i need to change the GRUB.CONF.


Here is my Grub.conf.....

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,4)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda6
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,4)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
password --md5 $1$KURWDHe9$8WCQX0O8itrSQbJ9bXQyz.
title LINUX (2.4.20-8bigmem)
        root (hd0,4)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8bigmem ro root=LABEL=/
        initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8bigmem.img
title LINUX-smp (2.4.20-8smp)
        root (hd0,4)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp ro root=LABEL=/
        initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8smp.img
title WINDOW
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1
~


It seems OK. how to enter into WINDOWS XP ?
Should i need to enter makeactive after rootnoverify ?
Has the GRUB lost the link with Windows XP ?

get me out of this problem,
