  2. select XP item, the system can't boot. the error message:

       no such partition

  3. when select XP item at first time, the system can't boot.
     then go back to select the Lenny, the system can't can't boot too. the error message:

        you need to load kernel first

sovlution:
   change in grub.cfg 
   old:
   >     menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" {
   >      set root=(hd0,0)
   >      chainloader +1
   >     }

   new(the second line been changed):
   >     menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" {
   >      set root=(hd0,1)
   >                    ^
   >      chainloader +1
   >     }


Enviroment:

       Lenny & Windows XP

  2. My grub.cfg:
        set default=0
        set timeout=5
        set root=(hd0,6)
        search --fs-uuid --set a1eb98f0-719a-4c9c-940e-227a450d8b7c
        if font /share/grub/ascii.pff ; then
          set gfxmode=640x480
          insmod gfxterm
          insmod vbe
          terminal gfxterm
        fi
        set root=(hd0,6)
        search --fs-uuid --set a1eb98f0-719a-4c9c-940e-227a450d8b7c
        insmod png
        if background_image /share/images/desktop-base/debian-blueish-wallpaper-640x480.png ; then
          set color_normal=black/black
          set color_highlight=magenta/black
        else
          set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue
          set menu_color_highlight=white/blue
        fi
        set root=(hd0,3)
        search --fs-uuid --set 662a3e12-57bb-4383-ad41-229725e5e357
        menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.26-1-686" {
         linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=UUID=662a3e12-57bb-4383-ad41-229725e5e357 ro vga=791 
         initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686
        }
        menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.26-1-686 (single-user mode)" {
         linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=UUID=662a3e12-57bb-4383-ad41-229725e5e357 ro single vga=791
         initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686
        }
        menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" {

         chainloader +1
        }
