My apologies for the completely content free post I just
made. I was
going to refer you to the man pages for grub in addition to
this
stanza for Windows (which will require amendment).

# section to load Windows
title Windows
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1


I'd love to give you a complete grub file, but I don't have
a machine
with Linux iinstalled to hand...

This is the section from my /boot/grub/menu.lst file that
refers to 
Windows XP. Hope it helps. My system is just two hard drives
hda1 & 
sda1, for Ubuntu and XP respectively.
Hope it helps.
