Just modify your BOOT.INI.

Add a few items yourself
For example:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fa ...

I modified boot.ini under C:, then booted from a floppy disk,
selected to boot from the hard disk, and there were three system options,
but the third hard disk's XP couldn't boot

Expert help me !!

This depends on which hard disk and which partition each of your systems is on.

I installed Windows ME on the first partition of the first hard disk, and Windows 2003 on the second partition; forming a dual-boot system with the previous one. The second one is only used as a data disk. Recently, I added another one, and installed Windows XP SP2 on its C: alone, placed on the master of IDE2. I have a floppy disk. I boot from the hard disk to enter the dual-boot system, and I want to add an option to boot from the floppy disk to enter XP.

This is really difficult to help you~ Learn more about grub4dos by yourself and improve yourself! Grub4dos mainly includes two main programs, grldr and grub.exe. I won't say more here. Look at the README and examples in the grub_for_dos-0.4.2pre11 package by yourself, or search in the forum for Budian (the author of grub4dos).

The following lists several pure DOS commands for grub:
Grub.exe --config-file="title Find the partition where ntldr (that is, 2000~XP system) is located and start;find --set-root /ntldr;chainloader /ntldr;" Grub.exe --config-file="title Start the system on the first partition of the first hard disk;root (hd0,0);chainloader +1" Boot the system in the (hd0,0) partition (that is, the first partition of the first hard disk) Grub.exe --config-file="title Start the system on the first partition of the second hard disk;root (hd1,0);chainloader +1" grub.exe --config-file="title Find the xxxx.img floppy disk image and start;find --set-root /xxxx.img;map --mem /xxxx.img (fd0);map --hook;chainloader (fd0)+1;rootnoverify (fd0);"
