[SOLVED] Windows XP SP3

Has anyone successfully dual-booted 64-bit Arch Linux with 32-bit Windows XP SP3 using Grub? And if so, what did they use for the boot options in Grub?

Why should it be a problem? I've never done this before but I don't see any reason why this should lead to any difficulties.

Re: [SOLVED] Windows XP SP3

it doesn't matter if it's a 64bit system or what service pack is installed with windows xp....

the options there are the options I'm using for my arch x86_64/ WinXP SP2 dual boot.  I see no reason why they shouldn't work for SP3.

Thanks. I needed to use that hard drive remapping since I'm booting Windows off a separate hdd.

Did you reinstall GRUB after installing XP?
