Some GRUB help please!

[Dr. Z]

Anyone out there dual-booting XP and Ubuntu that uses GRUB - help!

I have Ubuntu on hda and XP on hdb. On install, the XP install wasnt detected, so I am trying to add it to GRUB.

So far, I have got this in my menu.lst file:

title Microsoft Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1

Im fairly sure that should work but it tells me the device cannot be found... (I have tried hd1,1 too)

This normally wouldnt be a problem but its ABSOLUTELY critical I get into that windows partition.

What can I do?

I cant seem to be able to mount the drive either, so im not sure what is going on really.

Is there a way of restoring the proper windows boot loader for the time being, without damaging anything (and reinstall GRUB afterwards?).

The blind panic is preventing me from thinking straight here...
