grub and debian...think I messed it up help please

[deuce868]

I installed debian in an attempt to dual boot my laptop. The new beta says it will detect other OS (but didn't detect my XP install) so I figured...no biggie...just add it to the menu.lst in grub. I had a Mandrake 10 install that I blew out and put debian in its place. I had previously had SuSE 9 on it before that.

I checked the lilo.conf in mandrake before I installed Debian so I know XP is on /dev/hda1. I set up grub like so (as per documentation) :
title WinXP
root (hd0,1) (linux is set up under (hd0,2) so I figured XP install would just be a change from 2->1)
makeactive
chainloader+1 (no idea what this is for, but docs say to do it)

Now when I boot I get an error 13 which grub says is a filesystem error.

Any ideas as to how I can get back into my XP system please!!!!??

I know it is all fine because I was just dual booting XP/Mandrake this morning.

Thanks for the help.

nvm, my apologies... /dev/hda1 is actually (hd0,0).

Worked fine once I fixed that.
