Should this not work to boot windows (it is on hda3)

title Windows XP Professional Sp1
root (hd0,2)
map (hd0,2)(hd0,0)
map (hd0,0)(hd0,2)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Cause the map makes it pretend that the ms boot loader is there right?

I get the error 11 mesg from grub. My grub is in the mbr.

Error 11 is improper device string---perhaps because you don't have spaces between the 2 devices??

try:
map (hd0,2) (hd0,0)
map (hd0,0) (hd0,2)

Thanks I had my tv setup as my monitor and did not notice the lack of spaces.

Thanks

What is the difference between norootverify and just root
