MS Windows uses chainloading.  Sometimes you must designate the block
list number in GRUB to be able to boot windows from GRUB.
(chainloader+1).

This grub.conf came from Presario laptop dual booting Windows XP and Red
Hat 8.0.

#grub.conf generated by anaconda
# 
#Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
#NOTICE: You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#	all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#	root (hdo,1)
#	kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3
#	initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda2
default=0
timeout=10

Hi,
  Later today I'll be doing my first installation on a machine to 
dual-boot with XP. Anyone know of any particular gotchas I should worry 
about? It'll be RH 9.
