Why not go Seamless with a VM? That works great for me. That way you
can forget about the dual boot. Just set the VM to run on startup and
you can access any Windows program from within Gentoo. Works great,
speed is just as fast as when booting to XP.

Not for me. Same problem: grub can get the HDs

the BIOS to boot from that

I came to this late and missed most of the thread so apologies if this
has been covered.
Did you mount /proc into /mnt/gentoo before chroot'ing? (see install
docs) This allows grub to correctly "sense" the drive map for writing
the boot sectors.
Some early MB's changed the drive map depending on

Both drives are bootable provided I make a detour to
the BIOS and change the boot order.

Except the working one. Don't give up!
I don't mean to discount your reply but I am worried I expressed myself
poorly. I think your configuration should look like:

Hi group,
Previously I had a problem with hard drive that turned
out was a faulty IDE controller, not the drive, not
the cable.
Now I can't use /dev/hdb but /dev/hdc is OK. So my set
up is /dev/hda(WinXP) and /dev/hdc(gentoo), ie, WinXP
is on the first IDE as master and gentoo is on the sec
IDE
