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.
