How do I add another Windows XP SATA Hard Drive to this Grub menu, on a USB Stick?:
timeout 30
default 0
#
WinXP on HDD
title Windows XP on hard disk
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
#
title Puppy on bootable USB
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 PMEDIA=usbflash
initrd /initrd.gz
Fdisk Partition Table:

sda = (hd0)
sdb = (hd1)
sdc = (hd3)
sdd = (hd4)
Notice the "zero offset" numbering convention used by GRUB. The partition numbers are the same, e.g., sda1 is (hd0,0), sda5 is (hd0,4) sdd1 is (hd3,0) and so forth.
Is that enough to help you out?
http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub.html is one tutorial that may help you further; it would be useful to do some reading to ensure that you understand what you are doing. http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/gru.../grub_toc.html is another resource that may be helpful. http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~steinarh/grub/tutorial.html is yet another resource, and finally, http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/ is the official GNU GRUB reference site, which, in turn, refers to additional information.
Somewhere among this information, coupled with what I have already told you, that should be enough to get you going, assuming that you are willing to do a bit of digging and learning - I hope that you will do just that.
I got this solution from

Add the following:
#
WinXP on HDD 2
title Windows XP on hard disk 2
map (hd0) (hd2)
map (hd2) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd2,0)
makeactive
chainloader +2
