From one thread I found with a Installation forum search for 'grub windows hdb'.

title = windows
map (hd0, hd1)
map (hd1, hd0)
chainloader (hd*,*)+1

Hello Mdwatts,
I tried it just now but got an error message :
map (hd0,hd1)
error 11 unrecognized device string

Could you then please post the contents of your Grub config and /boot/grub/device.map.

grub.conf:

#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title red hat linux (2.4.18-3)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hda2
initrd /initrd-2.4.18.3.img

title win2000
map (hd1,hd0)
map (hd0,hd1)
chainloader (hd1,0)+1



(fd0) /dev/fdo
(hdo) /dev/hda
(hd1) /dev/hdb

Maybe in the line "(hdo) /dev/hda" there should be a zero instead of an O.

You have the map devices backwards.
