This is what I have in menu.lst
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686
root (hd1,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/hdb5 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root (hd0,0)
savedefault

chainloader +1
So, I change
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686
root (hd1,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/hdb5 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686
to
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686
root (hd0,4) <-- change1 to 0 here
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/hda5 ro <--- change b
to a here
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686
and remove
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root (hd0,0)
What about these bad boys.....
