Subject: [wellylug] Grub cant find XP - Newbie

I have lost my XP (good they all say!)  Not good, the Princess is
pulling my hair out.

I put Mepis on the XP box (NTFS) and rebooted.  Grub showed both systems
but would boot to XP.  Grub has set boot to bootnoverify which I think
is correct.

When I put the XP CD in it says it cant find a bootable system.  Grub
finds ME in a FAT32 system I have installed since.

Any idea's?
