AGAIN, Grub cannot chainload directly XP, grub4dos can:

Alternatively to the method illustrated here, it is possible to insert grub4dos inside Vista bootmanager,

or to chainload the Vista Bootsector.

All the above is related to grub4dos, NOT grub.

I've finally succeeded in adding Windows PE 2.0 to Grub4Dos menu in VPC 2007 environment.

Here's the link to instructions: Add Windows PE 2.0 to Grub4Dos Menu

Thanks, Jaclaz, for clarifying the difference between Grub and Grub4Dos. I have changed my original post to mention Grub4Dos.

I just wanted to add on to what you said about adding Grub4Dos to Vista's boot options menu, which is a great tip. I could not use that method, however, because my goal was to obtain Grub4Dos menu first - before Vista's boot options menu. If you add Grub4Dos to Vista's menu and make it the default with a timeout of 0, then you cannot load Vista because of a circular reference - meaning even if you add Vista to your menu.lst, it will keep loading Grub4Dos menu because it is the default!

Therefore, I had to rename the files. However, if you don't want Grub4Dos to be your first menu, then Jaclaz's method is a great alternative.

Well, actually it is not my method , it was just a quote from a recent grub4dos readme.txt.

Changing the post above to better make this clear.

edit: never mind, answer to question already posted.
