just in (from Henk_1955):

grub-install /dev/hda --root-directory=/mnt/hda5

(rewrites the mbr of hda so XP-bootloader will be gone!)

We'll see if this works tonight....

it worked, all i had to do is change some in the menu.lst

I had (hdo,1) figured as the second partition of my harddisk while it should have been (hd0,4) which is the same as hda5.

From there on everything works out great, i can boot XP, i can boot DSL, and can boot MsDos (from hd0,4/hda5). I don't need loadlin.exe/loadlin.par anymore because that's all been taking care of by grub. Next i an gonna put a splashimage in grub (penguins of course)...
