grub in a HD with windows/arch/Data

i have a HDisk of 80gb
i installed XP and arch on him
but i also have a partition only for Data
grub when i try to edit the Windows XP line, it caused a strange issue
i choose Arch Fallback, and i entered on XP
with Arch i entered on Fallback...
editing i playing with menu.lst i finally could start arch normally, but i sacrificed XP on the menu list
how do i enable XP on Grub?
according to the partition table when i installed arch was this

sda1 XP
sda2 Data
sda3 Arch
sda4 Swap

thanks

Re: grub in a HD with windows/arch/Data

This should do it:

# (0) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux
root   (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
initrd /kernel26.img

# (1) Arch Linux Fallback
title  Arch Linux Fallback
root   (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img

# (2) Windows
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Is there perhaps a particular reason in opting for "rootnoverify"? GRUB reads the same disk which Windows is on.

I need real, proper pen and paper for this.
