I installed for the first time Linux on a 2nd hard drive, in the 1st hard drive installed Win Xp
and when i tried to boot Win Xp from Grub it wrote:
*******************************
booting 'dos'
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

error 25: disk read error
*******************************

and then windows does not start.
I am using RedHat 7.3 and i can see my win hd from it.
1st hd (30 gb)=fat 32
2nd hd (80 gb)=part is fat 32 (can see this also from RH) and the other parts are ext3 and swap.

thanks.
