Well, the reason why I post this was, I spent a whole day figuring out why I cant boot to my linux after re-installing windows XP. I made a manual regenarating GRUB. I even used the supergrub disk but still it has an error file not found when booting to a particular kernel on my GRYB menu. Well, the culprit, as you can see this entry " (hd0,6)/vmlinuz-2.xxx" after messing up with GRUB, that became (hd0,8) while I did not change that to anything. anyway.. It was my fault, I should have remembered that /dev/sdn is equal to (hd0,n-1) on the grub menu.lst entries... now, Im good, booting back to my Mandriva 2008.1.
