This page is outdated and should not be updated further. The content below is preserved purely for historical reasons. As such, any instructions or suggestions on this page may damage your system. Follow them at your own risk.
This is a extra reference to the Multiboot Article.
Here I will show you how to configure WinGrub to load Mac OS X and Windows. Please read the Multiboot Article before reading this reference.
Installation
Install WinGrub
Download WinGrub from the Wingrub site. Install it and also read the User Guide.
Configure WinGrub
I assume that you have read the User Guide, or know how to use WinGrub (it's quite different to the Linux Grub).
Create a menu item named "Mac OS X".
Type the following:-
Root(hd0,1)[Enter] Chainloader +1
Create another menu item named "Windows".
Type the following:-
Root(hd0,0) [Enter] Chainloader +1
Configure WinGrub for Linux
This method should work for any Linux Distribution.
Create a menu item named "Linux". Type the following:- Root(hd0,2) Chainload +1
Note Sorry that my reference does not teach you exactly how to use WinGrub. Even I get muddled trying to sort out the grand features available. Just try this at first, and experiment later. I would be grateful to anyone who can edit this article and make it more informative. It will be a help to all.

The above method didn't work for me. This was my method of getting WinGrub to work. I had actually installed OS X first on the first partition and then later installed XP on the second partition, which was my active partition. I had a bios that supported installing past the 1024 cylinder.
I installed WinGrub and edited the list menu - right click and select edit
Your menu should read as follows:
title Windows at (hd0,1) ##Note: if Windows in on the first partition then it should be hd(0,0)
root (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
boot
title OSX at (hd0,0)
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
boot
Then close the list menu editor and choose file save. Now shut down and you should have a OS selector menu that works.
