I reinstalled windows on the second disk, ran fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 device then ran grub-install device. After that I configured grub as such: <config:menu.lst> color black/cyan yellow/cyan default 0 fallback 1 # For booting FreeBSD title FreeBSD - Unix root (hd0,a) kernel /boot/loader # For booting Windows NT or Windows95 title Windows XP map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 makeactive </config> And voila!
