The rootnoverify should be (hd1,0), as the map command does not affect how grub sees the drives. Also you need the map commands uncommented. The 'ntldr missing' could mean that it is really missing from the Windows disk. I guess you can mount the Win disk from Linux and check if the Win is missing some of its files. See for example http://www.ntfs.com/missing-corrupted-system-files.htm for details. Also make sure that you have the /boot/grub/device.map file with (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/hdb in it. Also you can try to comment out the 'boot' at the end. I'm not sure it is needed, even though I don't know if it can cause any harm either. This is what I used, when I had Windows in /dev/hdb. I can't remember why I did it that way, but it worked for me... title Microsoft Windows XP rootnoverify (hd1,0) map (hd0,0) (hd1,0) map (hd1,0) (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 HTH, Simo -- :r ~/.signature
