Im sure you've heard this a million times...but I've been using Redhat 9 for 2 hours now. The install went fine, and I was even able to boot to WinXP once. But now it comes back with the following when you try to boot to XP:

rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

im sure there is a solution to this. The way the system is configured is there is a 30 GB primary drive that houses linux and GRUB. The 80 GB Slave houses WinXP Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately you can not chainload an OS on any but the first hard drive (this is a prob with Windows, not grub ). From the grub manual:
"If you have installed DOS (or Windows) on a non-first hard disk, you have to use the disk swapping technique, because that OS cannot boot from any disks but the first one."

You can read some instructions in the grub manual for mapping your disks so they appear to be swapped....

Your other option is to make your windows disk the master and your linux disk the slave, of course you will have to reinstall grub on the windows MBR and edit grub.conf to reflect the new settings, which may or may not be easy depending on your experience.

Have a go at the first option, and read the grub manual for how....

In the meantime, boot up from the XP CDROM, go into rescue mode, and type "fix mbr". That'll load the windows bootloader in. Of coarse, you won't even see Linux again unless you have a bootable linux floppy, then you're safe.

Assuming you have XP on the first partition indeed, like bulliver said.. make XP believe it is on the first hard-drive indeed.
