boot XP on hdd

[Daniel Schröer]

Hello,

I have some trouble using grub on my rampant old setup. I hope this
question is allowable here.

I have a mainboard with one SATA and two IDE controllers. I have two
harddisks (sda, sdb) on the SATA and two harddisks (hdc, hdd) on one
of the IDE controllers.

Grub is installed in the MBR of hdc. I have W2k on the first partition
of sda and Linux in other partitions of the same disk. They boot fine.

Now I have installed WXP on the first partition of hdd. During the
installation the boot sector of hdc with grub in it was overwritten.
After I have reinstalled grub there, I can't manage to boot XP
anymore.

My device.map and menu.lst look like the following. With this, the
Windows XP entry actually also boots W2k. What am I doing wrong here?

It has helped once to boot (from CD) into the recovery console of WXP
and do 'fixboot d:' there (d: is hdd), but I don't remember what I did
afterwards and can't repeat it.

Thanks a lot for any hint.
Daniel
