thank you your reply.
I dont care which HDD the PC boots from aslong the XP drive has the NT loader, if i changed the bios to the xp can i use something like bootpart to add GRUB the to NT loader and would fedfora still boot if the boot order was chaged? or can i somehow add the NT loader to GRUB and if i did would XP still boot with the Fedora drive first prefence in the bios? or is there a way to pick whic HDD to boot from without entering to BIOS? I wouldn't normally install Fordora without windows drive but the windows drive was in another computer at the time.
Thank you for helping

i currently have FC5 installed on my second harddrive(slave) and windows XP installed on my first harddrive. The BIOS is currently set boot from the second drive. I need help to add Windows XP to the grub bootloader on the second drive because the XP drive was disconnected during the FC5 installation. I want to leave my nt boot loader intect.
Here is my current grub setup:
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hdb
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img
could some kindly tell how to add XP to it?
Thank you

i got it to work, all i had to do was add the following to grub:
title Windows at hdb1
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
The XP drive was used on this computer but was taken out to copy files over to another computer (via a ide to usb converter), during that time i added another drive to my PC and installed FC5 on it and yes the Fedora drive is slave because i dont have a jumper for it and its default setting slave.
So now have it working exacly how i want it to, the Fedora drive as the boot device. Leaving the boot.ini intact. both fedora and windows are fully working.
with i XP i think u can have 3 major hardware changes before u need to reactivate and all u have to do is ring techsupport and tell them what has happened and they'll give a code.
Thank you very much for helping
