Be careful with what I say, I might screw you up worse that your
machine is now.  But I believe that should be (hd0,1) instead of
(hd0,0) but then again, I'm using grub2 here.  Also, why not install
grub on the same drive linux is on?  I also thought windows had to be
on the first available partition.  I have always had good luck with
putting my boot sectors on the MBR of my first hard drive. Like in my
case, I say 'grub-install /dev/sda' and can boot both platforms any
time I want.  I have Windows on /dev/sda1 and my linux stuff on
/dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2.  Furthermore, sdb1 is my main linux partition
and sdb2 is the /home directory.
