thanks in advance...

i not sure if grub allows comments end of line. , grub uses different nomenclature for drives. in linux sda1 - first drive , 1 - first partition. in grub starts @ 0 , uses hd first drive hd0.
need change sda1 hd0.
these windows grub lines xp, , think vista uses rootnoverify xp can use either root or rootnoverify.
# divider, added separate menu items below debian
# ones.
#title other operating systems:
title microsoft windows xp
root (hd0,0)
