Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst

title Microsoft XP
root (hd0,0) <---- Change this to XP's partition
makeactive
chainloader +1

Hope this helps....


I would leave it the way it is (assuming it boots correctly) ... My experience with boot tweaking is the old saying "If it isn't broke don't fix it"

In the normal way as in your case the two Windows dual boot each other. My link is to separate them. I wrote it especially to anticipate questions like yours.
