Instead of the rootnoverify option directly, you might want to add this
sample config entry from "info grub"
# For booting Windows NT or Windows95
title Windows NT / Windows 95 boot menu
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
This worked for me with XP as the primary drive and with Linux as the
secondary drive.
I wouldn't reinstall grub, just edit the entry in the grub.conf file.
