*** SOLVED **
be sure the mbr file is loading from the right part .. DUH...
Code:
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root (hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader (hd0,4)/boot/truecrypt.mbr
Not sure what I am missing I can't get windows to boot now:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 7256 58283788+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 7257 14593 58934452+ 5 Extended

head /boot/truecrypt.mbr

so I know the MBR was backed up properly
I know windows could boot before/truecrypt
here is my menu.lst
I treid adding the UUID line to the windows titles after none of them worked ... what am I missing ?
