Thanks for your help. I can select Windows XP, but I get a screen that shows:
root (hd0,1) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7 makeactive chainloader +1 NTLDR is missing |
Is your XP partition on hd0,1 (second partition of the first hard drive)? GRUB number drives/partitions for zero and you need to make sure you tell it the correct partition to boot off of, as b0uncer said. If you can't figure it out, post an "fdisk -l /dev/hda" for your hard drive ("fdisk -l /dev/sda" if your drive is SCSI or SATA).

Thank you! Problem solved.
