ext3 Filesystem & Dual-Booting?

I ONCE had RedHat Linux 9 and Windows XP professional. When I heard that ext3 was supported for RedHat. I redid my system with ext3 because it's faster than ext2. My current setup is this: Master HD is Linux, Slave HD is Windows XP. Windows doesn't touch Linux and vice versa.

GRUB.conf file that booted Windows XP just fine with my setup.

Code:

title Windows XP Professional

      map (hd0) (hd1)

      map (hd1) (hd0)

      rootnoveryify (hd1,0)

      chainloader + 1

      boot

Does anyone here have the same setup and got windows to boot through grub?

Also: RedHat 9 is dying in April...can I get opinions about some distros people like?

Thanks

The bit of /boot/grub/menu.lst which boots Windows for me is

Code:

title Windows

root (hd0,0)

chainloader +1

As for distros, try them all. Send away for cheap CD's and give them all a go. Try http://www.maxtux.co.uk/ or somewhere closer to wherever you live.
