I wanted to leave my Notebooks mbr alone (has a recovery program in it),
so I installed grub in the boot block of my linux partition.
I then made that the active partition and boot with a standard MBR. To
chainload Windows XP I omit the makeactive step, and things work fine.

boot
That works without problems, indeed.

rely on the c:\bootlinx.bin on the WinXP partition. I'll try that
later on.

But now I know the problem again why I didn't do it this way: My
notebook BIOS doesn't boot with GRUB in the MBR.
