For using XP (Nt whatever) as the first drive and having a secondary 
drive installed, the below worked for me. This is from the 'info grub' 
in the 'configuration' hyperlinked section.

      # For booting Windows NT or Windows95
      title Windows NT / Windows 95 boot menu
      root        (hd0,0)
      makeactive
      chainloader +1

For some reason the makeactive seems to be the key to resolving XP not 
booting.
