Dear Styvaen,

the "#" wasn't a typo. I remove the character, but that didn't solve my
problem. When I select the WinXP option from grub, I (briefly) see the 3
commands grub tries to execute and then it displays the grub-menu again.

I'm going to try your "fixmbr" or "fixboot" suggestion, when I can get
hold of a WinXP install disk (I don't think it can be done from the cdrom)

I don't think I messed up the windows partition, since I partitioned it
first with partition magic (I have to admit that I didn't try afterwards
to boot windows)


Cheers,
Bart
