grub2 dual boot

I have two hdd's, one sata named sda and an old ide named hdb. It has happened that I had to install Windows on the latter, and this is what I had to do in order to configure dual boot.

touch /etc/grub.d/15_windows

chmod a+x /etc/grub.d/15_windows

Then edit that file as follows:

#! /bin/sh -e

echo "Adding Windows" >&2

cat << EOF

menuentry "Windows XP" {

set root=(hd1,1)

drivemap -s hd0 hd1

#drivemap (hd0) (hd1)

#drivemap (hd1) (hd0)

#set root=(hd0)

chainloader +1

}

EOF
