Hey all!

OK I have 2 machines.  One is strictly linux.  I want to play some cool 
3d shootem up games like unreal or quake etc on it.  I do not want to 
add anything windows to this machine. so no wine etc... Do you guys have 
a suggestion for a website to look at?  I am looking for somehting 
free.  I never play games but I wouldn't mind getting a game to "escape" 
once a month or so.

Here is my main problem though.  I have another computer with nothing 
but linux.  I found an old 40 GB HDD I thought was defective but 
actually is not.  It has windowsXP (ntfs) on it.  I would like to setup 
dual boot but I do not want to reinstall anything.  I put what I thought 
were the correct settings for grub but I keep getting an error 11 if I 
try to boot to winxp.  It will boot fine to linux.  ANy suggestions.

Linux drive is hda
win drive is hdb

Here is my grub.conf file

default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2115.nptl)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi rhgb
        initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img
title Windows XP Professional
        map (hd0)(hd1)
        map (hd1)(hd0)
        rootnoverify (hd1,1)
        chainloader +1

Thanks for any help in advance.
