Sigh, I was fearing it may have been something like that... ;( One of these days I'll get off my lazy rear and find a win emulator that will allow me to play my mmorpg's, so I can just have done with windows once and for all... Anyway, thank you very much for your help, it is appreciated.

well, the chainloader idea was a good idea, and, although it didn't work, it did do something different. This time it said "error 21, no existing disc" Which I know isn't true, because if I go into bios and tell it to ignore all the other drives, it will load windows up just fine. as far as "was windows set installed as secondary slave originally", no, it was primary master when I installed it, as, for some reason, windows didn't want to play nice with installing it with my nix drives installed at the same time. So I had just it and the dvd rom installed, changing it to the sec. slave afterwards.

Ok, here's the problem... Running FC4, latest distro, on my primary master, primary slave is my storage drive, secondary master is my dvd rom, and secondary slave is windows xp. Problem being, grub does not want to play nice with the windows boot... keeping in mind that: hda = fc4 hdb = storage hdc = dvd rom hdd = winxp how should my grub.conf file look? currently it looks like: default=0 timeout=8 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core (2.6.14-1.1653_FC4) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4.img title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd3,0) Yet, if I select windows at the grub select screen, it dumps me right back to the grub menu.
