I have never been able to boot windows on anything other than /dev/hda.
One way to get both systems bootable is to have the linux system as /dev/hdb
and windows as /dev/hda no problem there.
Changeing linux to /dev/hda is not too hard at all, windows needs no
configuring as it only really wants to work as "Master" on the first interface.
