You can boot Windows fine from grub. The only problem I've encountered is
that windows always wants to be on the First primary partition of the
drive. make sure when you install Gentoo you make the first primary
partition your windows partition.
My grub.conf looks like this:
default 0
timeout 10
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 1.4 2.4.20
root (hd0,1)
kernel /bzImage-2.4.20-gentoo root=/dev/hda3
title=Windows 2000
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
I'd say that the large majority of people who have problems dual booting
windows and linux in any form are having those problems because Windows
isn't on the first primary partition on the Primary Master drive.
