Hi all,
I've installed CentOS 4.4 in a box which previously had dual boot (XP SP2 and Ubuntu)
I can run CentOS without problem but I can't boot XP SP2. When I try it the system simply hangs...

Alls seems good but the problem stills there: no error messages, simply hangs...
¿Any clue?
Try
title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1
or title Windows XP root (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1

You could always boot into the Windows Recovery console if it is windows 2000 or XP and run fixmbr and fixboot. This will verify that you have a correctly working boot sector for Windows.
Then you will need to boot into recovery mode off of a CentOS cd and run grub-install.
This has worked for me in the past.
