Ok, no luck so far. Here is what i did. Edit my grub.conf file :

title Windows 7
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
roonoverify (hd1,0) &(hd1,1)
chainloader+1

and I get the following error when I select windows 7

map (hd0)(hd1)
Error: 11: unrecognized device string

Can you verify : /boot/grub/device.map, fd0 are not required but hd0 to hd2 y
--------------
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hda
(hd1) /dev/sda
(hd2) /dev/sdb
-----------

About grub.conf

title Windows 7
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Attention if (hd1,0) can't work, try with (hd1,1)

USTruck,

didnt see your post till now, but after doing some search I arrived at the same solution you proposed. I'm no able to boot into xp & windows 7. Now comes the hard part, getting my nic to work in gentoo, finding out whats wrong with the kernel symlink, re-configuring alsa, xorg, and a few other things. But at least im half there. Thanks for all your great help...without you I'll prob still be stuck on error 17. I will post later to provide update. I have to step away for now. Thanks again.

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Duplicate Threads.

Check The Grub Error Collection
