Actually it looks more like this:

title Windows XP
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

Also, rootnoverify is not some specific Windows thing:

"rootnoverify device [hdbias]
Similar to root (see root), but don't attempt to mount the partition.
This is useful for when an OS is outside of the area of the disk that
GRUB can read, but setting the correct root device is still desired.
Note that the items mentioned in root above which derived from
attempting the mount will not work correctly."

Sorry Bob, I didn't catch your instructions before typing mine up. Think
we helped Paul though.

P.S. Paul, please next time start a new thread when instead of replying
to a message in another thread that has nothing to do with your
question.
