It might actually be a Windows issue rather than a grub issue. Historically 
Windows has been really picky about being on /dev/hda1. I've heard rumors that 
newer versions are less picky about it, but then again I recall hearing rumors 
that you never needed to defrag ntfs, so...

I'd probably repartition and reinstall (maybe using disk images to minimize the 
pain). I also recall seeing somewhere bootloader settings that would trick 
Windows into thinking it was on /dev/hda1, but I can't recall where. It may 
have been back in the lilo days. tldp.org is never a bad place to look.

It's on /dev/hda3.

So anyway, that's why I stick with Boot Magic.
