Partition table screwed, grub wont load [SOLVED]

[Jefklak]

Hiya all,

After some other distributions I would like to try Gentoo. I spent the whole day yesterday compiling my thingies (starting from stage1) and it went fine. I created the following partitions:

> hde1: NTFS (WinXP, already existed) bootable!
> hde2: Linux Boot (ext3)
> hde3: Linux Swap
> hde4: Linux Root (ReiserFS)

I emerged grub and installed it:
root (hd0,1) >> I only have 1 HDD, the rest is CD-ROM etc, this is correct
setup (hd0) >> I would like grub to be in the MBR

No errors, he installed everything fine. I edited my grub.conf file correctly.
When I reboot, my system "beeps" (like normal), begins calculating RAM, shows every HDD/CD-ROM and then I normally get the WinXP screen. Now, the system reboots. WHAT THE??
Again, he yust keeps on rebooting. Sh*t, what did I do wrong?

Ok, insterted boot disk from WinME and did a fdisk /mbr.
Rebooted and WinXP starts successfully. But When I try to install grub on my MBR again my computer keeps on rebooting on startup.
Help?


Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Jefklak.


MOD:
I yust checked my Laptops partition table. There's an "Win95 ext'd (LBA)" partition on /dev/hdc4 (hdc is my only HDD), hdc1 = Winxp (bootable), hdc2 = linux/boot, hdc3 = linux/root, hdc5 = linux swap. What's up with that extended thing? Is it really needed?
I have RedHat 9 (Actually fedora, http://fedora.redhat.com) on my laptop, so I didn't configure anything about the partitons myself and grub loads correctly there.
