Grub will not load

[ghostface99]

I have 2 hard drives (primary: windowsxp, secondary: gentoo) and I want to boot into Windows by default but have the Grub option to load Gentoo

hda1: WindowsXP
hdb1: /boot
hdb2: /swap
hdb3: /root

I just did the basic install and everything went fine, but after I reboot Grub does not load, it just boots right into Windows.

Here is my grub setup

root (hd1,0)
setup (hd1)

menu.lst....
-----------------------------
default 0
timeout 4
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

#WindowsXP
title=Windows XP
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

#Gentoo
title=Gentoo
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdb3
-----------------------

does Grub have to be on hdb1 ??

Also how do I get back into my Gentoo system to fix this?

Thanks!

Most likely you'll have to do setup(hd0) instead of hd1. XP doesn't play nicely though, so some problems may occur.

You should be able to follow the steps referenced here to get back into Gentoo.

thanks for the help

It goes into GRUB and I can boot into Gentoo, BUT now I cant go into Windows If I select Windows, the screen goes black and then returns to the main menu.

any suggestions?
