Problem booting Win XP from boot window...

Hello to all.

Today I successfully installed SuSE Linux 8.2 on my machine (formerly running
only Win XP). Problem: after selecting "windows" in the boot screen, I get
the following message and does NOT load Win XP.

"root (hd1,0)
Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xc
chainloader +1"

FYI. My drive configuration prior to SuSE Linux installation was as follows:
The HD housing Windows XP was my PRIMARY/MASTER (/hda)
My CD-Writer was the PRIMARY/SLAVE drive (/hdb)
My CD-ROM drive was the SECONDARY/MASTER HD (/hdc)

I made changes prior to the SuSE Linux installation, as follows:
My NEW Hard Drive for Linux was now the PRIMARY/MASTER (/hda)
The HD housing Windows XP was my PRIMARY/SLAVE (/hdb)
My CD-ROM drive was the SECONDARY/MASTER (/hdc)
My CD-Writer was the SECONDARY/SLAVE (/hdd)

Your help is greatly appreciated!
