GRUB Boot-loader and Windows XP

I have a Laptop System (Dell Inspiron-8100) of which I have partitioned to 
Dual boot Windows-XP and RedHat-7.2.

The Windows partions is first ~hda1 and LINUX sits on hda5-6.  Upon install
and boot the only entry in the GRUB graphical boot loader was for the LINUX
installation (not suprising).  I tried to add the Windows-XP entry in the 
grub.conf
file with the line:

        chainloader +1

But upon reboot and selecting windows for booting I got an error, which 
indicated
it failed on the 'chainloader' entry.  

Do you know of a work around?  I assume GRUB works with Win-2K dual boot 
systems?,  I do not understand the difference, unless it has to do the the NTFS
file system?

Thanks,
