Another Dual Boot WinXP/SXDE 9/07 Question

807559Nov 19 2007 — edited Nov 20 2007
For a more verbose account of my install experience:

My question:
My setup requires me to re-set the BIOS boot sequence if I want to boot into WinXP or SXDE 9/07. GRUB tries to load WinXP but it says "Non-system disk or no DOS partition found." The entry for WinXP is:

rootnoverify (hd 0,0)
chainloader +1

And my setup is:

Athlon XP 2000+ (1.66 GHz) with 1.5GB DDRAM
hd0 - 30GB, NTFS (WinXP)
hd1 - 160GB, 41% 0xbf (Solaris), 50% FAT32 (DATA), 9% NTFS (Win SWAP)
DVD-R

Any other suggestions to modifying GRUB?

Also, about the DHCP config, I think I'll try this first:

Will let you know how it goes. I tried the BigAdmin article but it didn't work.

Thanks!
Carl
