Just a quick stop by.  The line

rootnoverify (hd0,1)

should be

rootnoverify (hd0,2)  ,

as I reserved the third partition (not the second, which is occupied by 
my root partition) for WinXP.  I am sure everyone has caught this 
inadvertent error.

OTOH, I forgot to comment on my own question (whether it is possible to 
dual boot Windows from a non-first drive).  GRUB also allows you to boot 
Windows from a non-first drive (for example, slave of the first IDE). 
 To do this, you simply have to insert the following two "map" commands:

map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)

Isn't this amazing?
