Greetings

I have a dual hd (both 40G) that I have WinXP installed on the 1st HD. Shutting
down and rebooting the WinXP worked fine each and every time. I put debian on
the 2nd HD and accepted the grub install for a dual boot. I accepted the default
debian as my primary OS. If I try to boot into winxp I see a flash of blue with
some writting on it the it goes back into the grub screen and reloads debian. It
did the same for ubuntu as well. I did the recovery 'fixmbr' etc previously and
got winxp back but lost grub and was unable to boot into debian. I want a dual
boot machine. WinXP on drive 1 and Debian on drive 2. How can I get that? I have
done this with winxp on drive 1 and tried Ubuntu, Opensuse and fedora and the
same thing happened. There is something wrong with the whole grub/winxp setup
but I can't figure it out. Any one got some ideas (besides scrap XP) as to how
to fix grub/winxp to work.
