dual boot

Hey, I have arch installed, and im trying to configure winXp into grub.
my /boot/grub/menu.lst has thef ollowing

title windows xp
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

but when i click on XP from grub i get:

Booting "Windows XP"

rootoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader + 1

Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist

Did i do this wrong?  Anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks a lot!

Re: dual boot

Maybe the problem is this:

    rootoverify (hd0,0)

must be

     rootnoverify (hd0,0).

Re: dual boot
