DAMN Sorry!!!!!!!!
It's exactly the OTHER WAY ROUND!!

AFTER virtually exchanging the drives via the map command,
grup STILL thinkso (hd1,0) as the SECOND drive!!!!!!!
The virtual exchannging of drives DOES NOT affect the internal drive numbering of grub.!!!!!!!!!!

Very bewildering topic.

please add to http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-faq.en.html#q10

--- original text
Use the command map, to exchange BIOS drives virtually, like this:
grub> map (hd0) (hd1)
grub> map (hd1) (hd0)
---- !!!NEWLY ADDED TEXT !!!!!!!!
grub> rootnoverify (hd0,0)

Explanation: WinXP can ONLY be booted from the FIRST disk. After you virtually exchanged the BIOS drives, grub itself also thinks the drives are exchanged. In the above example this would meen: Windows physically is installed on the primary partition of the SECOND harddisc. But AFTER virtually exchanging the drives you adress the WinXP Partition as (hd0,0).
