Any possibility of posting real details? "It's doesn't work" isn't a good
starting point.

I didn't have any problems dual-booting with W2K using grub (even with
Windows installed last). I haven't dual-booted XP yet.

How about posting the grub.conf you're using?

Why are you using such an old distribution (RH8)?
