how to boot windows xp pro from fedora


I have just installed fedora onto my computer which also has windows xp pro on it but for some reason i can't boot windows pro from the grub menu. i think i must have done something to the boot settings. is there any way you can boot windows pro from fedora itself? Thanks

We can help you reconstruct your grub menu if you post some information for us. We need the output of fdisk -l (that's -L) and cat /boot/grub/menu.lst (also "L" as in LST).

You could also try using the command update-grub as root. It sometimes does an okay job of finding other installs automagically, but might also make it worse...
