I had similar issue but I had winxp installed on separate drive. Anyway
I have solved this by modifying grub.conf:
--------
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Pingo Linux (2.6.7-1.494.2.2.pingo.3)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.7-1.494.2.2.pingo.3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb
quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.7-1.494.2.2.pingo.3.img
title Windows XP Pro
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
boot
-----------
So I have done remaping drive. Maybe you can done it also (just change
for your system config)
