1 sorry for the spelling but without windows I don't have any spell checker 
2 as mentioned in the subject when using the windows line in the grub menu windows doesn't get loaded and I get back to the grub menu any advice on how to fix this?
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root (hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
and
tile Microsoft Windows XP Professional
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
I have win98 installed on hd0,0 (c) and winxp on hd1,0 (d)
If I edit grub to try hd1,0 it hangs
Re installed winxp. now I have both linux and winxp but I lost win98. Since I haven't used it in years I won't try to get it back.
Corrected the spelling now that I have a spellchecker 
h2

Try it with ONLY this:
Code:
title Windows XP
chainloader (hd0,0)+1
The other stuff you are using is for linux.
If the above does not work for you, let me know.
Comment out the stuff you have, all of it:
comments like this:
#title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
#root (hd0,0)
#savedefault
#makeactive
#chainloader +1
Edit this file: /boot/grub/menu.lst in root mode to change grub
Note also, that your boot.ini file MUST be located in what you are calling c:\ , windows 98, for this to work. If for some reason you had windows xp as the active disk, it won't work as well |

you can't start either XP nor W98, right?
Have you installed XP seperate on hd(1,0) or have you installed XP on hd(1,0) while hd(0,0) was aktiv.
In that case grubmenu should contain only LINUX and XP as bootable OS's and than XP-Bootloader schuld aktivate WIN98 or XP. |
