Add a Windows Partition to the Grub Boot Loader

If you have a Windows partition already and you need to put it into the Grub boot list, just add the following to your /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

title WindowsXP Pro
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Notice that hd0,1 means the 2nd partition (1) on the first hard drive (0). Also the two map lines are optional and will switch the drives around so that Window sets up on drive C.
