Chainloader just tells grub to pass on the boot process to the image 
waiting on the second drive. I think, that is how I understood 
chainloader to work. However, I believe your config should look 
somethin' like the following:

title WinXP
        map (hd0,0) (hd1,0)
        map (hd1,0) (hd0,0)
        rootnoverify (hd1,0)
        chainloader +1


Hope this helps.
