OK, I had try that option too...

fdisk /dev/hda

p

partition 1 (windows partition) has boot flag

a
2

to set second partition (/boot partition) with the
boot flag, and

a
1

to unset de first partition (win xp partition) with
the boot partition

both are primary partitions and, when I restart get an
error:

Error loading Operating System
