Well, I've looked at it now that you've mentioned it. Sorry I didn't 
check it before. It doesn't seem to come up in Google, at least not with 
the search terms I use, and I forget to go there directly.

Anyway, I've now edited my menu.list file as per your instructions and 
web site. What I have is:
title        Windows XP
rootnoverify    (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

But when I select to boot XP, it does nothing except display what it 
says in the menu.ls file:
Booting "Windows XP"

rootnoverify    (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

My suspicision is that this is an issue with Windows being unhappy with 
not being on the prime hard drive. But before I jump to that conclusion, 
do I have the syntax right?

I've tried offering that before, and everyone argued that I shouldn't! :)
