Grub and XP

I had linux installed.  I installed XP.  Then I re-installed Grub to the 
MBR ->

grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)

I now have XP installed on the master drive of the first ide controller, 
and FC2 on the slave.  How should my grub.conf look?  This is what I 
have now:

default=0
timeout=10
#splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz  <----------  (this doesn't 
seem to work, so it's commented out).
title Fedora Core (2.6.6-1.435.2.3)
#       root (hd0,0)    <------------- Is this needed?
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 ro root=/dev/hdb1 rhgb 
quiet acpi=off
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.6-1.435.2.3.img
title Windows XP
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1
        makeactive


FC2 boots fine, but XP gives me:

Error 13:

Invalid or Unsupported executable format.


Is my setup for FC2 correct (it works, but is it ideal), and how do I 
boot XP?
