Hi Bob,

the grub docs mentions this inability of windoze and has a workaround
for it. (mapping technique)

map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)

probably it is not a bad idea to make sure the active flag is set to the
win partition or you can use grubs 'makeactive' command.

ps: dont you have 'info grub' on your system? 
than maybe www.gnu.org/software/grub is your friend.
