I've tried almost every distro under the sun and have found Arch to be the best linux distribution for my machine.
However, forces beyond my control require me to have Windows XP on my computer as well, so I require a dual-booting system. I've installed Arch successfully and I've configured menu.lst but for some reason Arch GRUB refuses to recognize my XP partition and allow it as a bootable option. I know about hd0,0 and have even tried different numbers but it just won't boot. Same thing happened in LILO.
My partition scheme is as such:
sda1 - NTFS
sda4 (don't ask why it reads it that way) - extended partition with logical partitions...
sda5- /home
sda6- /
sda7- swap
This setup worked with every other linnux distro, and I recently printed out menu.lst from Ubuntu and plan on using that as a reference to get GRUB to work here.
Any objections/comments/ideas as to why this is not working as it should????

Okay, so I was the ultimate noob in this situation.
Turns out I forgot to uncomment the Windows information in GRUB's menu.lst
