  1. it is easy to make xp boot first. you need to edit your file called /boot/grub/menu.lst . To show you how I will show you my file

    default 0
    timeout 20

    title=gentoo
    root (hd0,1)
    kernel (hd0,1)/bzImage root=/dev/hda5  

    title=ubuntu
    root (hd0,5)
    kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root=/dve/hda6
    initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386

    title=FreeBSD
    root   (hd0,0,a)
    kernel /boot/loader

    noitice the first line that is labled default 0, this means it will boot the first OS in my list, which is gentoo if I changed the line to default 1, this would boot ubuntu(the second in the list) first. You will have to change it to the number that corresponds to your windows XP install.
