Description of problem:
After installing a freshly Windows XP and setting up Dual Boot with
Fedora Core 2, booting the Windows isnt possible anymore.

I�ve tryed to setup DualBoot with Windows XP and Fedora Core 2 on one
Harddisk. (I had this setup before with XP and RedHat 8/9, Whitebox,
Fedora Core 1)

After completing the Fedora installation (doesnt bother if i install
from FTP or CD Media) it�s not possible to boot the Windows XP again
(i hoped someone improved Virus protection, but thats a little bit to
much)

Anaconda correctly inserted the BootSection for Windows:
title WindowsXP
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

also manually setting
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
boot

gets me to the same point, the bootloader doesnt load Windows
(and yes it worked before)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
grub-0.94-5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install Windows XP
2.install Fedora Core 2
3.try booting Windows XP
    

Actual Results:  Windows XP doesnt load.


Expected Results:  Windows should get loaded
