blue screen on xp!
 

im sorry if this topics been repeated but i just couldnt find my answers . someone help me out fast! here is the situation in brief!
1. i have a 160 gb hdd. windows xp without service pack 1 does not have 48-bit LBA enabled Microsoft knowledge base says so and so it can recognize only 137 gb when it should actually recognize 152 gb by industry standards for a 160 gb.
2. for obvious reasons i could not upgrade to XP with SP1.
3. i decide to use up the 137 gb for windows and the remaining 15 gb was recongnized when i was in the installation process of FC3. i was thrilled. it therfore is installed on that 15 gb which windows did not recognize.
4. grub was also installed as the bootloader.

now when i get the boot menu and i choose 'other' to boot into win xp i get the blue screen.

here are the boot arguments: ( is that what they are called? i got them by hitting "e" on the selected operating sys at the boot menu):

fedora core 3:
root(hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img

other (win xp):
rootnoverify(hd0,0)
chainloader +1

suspect anything fishy? can someone help me out here

does adding boot to the end of the xp "option" help?

Further to adjusting your bootloaded config, does XP simply blue screen and dump a load of errors onto screen or just sit and do nothing after selecting it from the boot menu? It it does start loading then hang, you could boot from your Win XP CD, drop to the recovery console and run chkdsk to try and correct any problems.
