My windows is on /dev/sda3, the partition is primary. The installation is in tact as far as I can see when I browse it. I get no error message when I try to boot into Windows, it simply stalls and I just see the Grub info, "title Windows" etc.
Thanks for the help, hope you guys can fix me up!

GRUB can't chainload off extended partitions. Not sure about GRUB 2, though.

It's not an extended partition.
One weird thing is cfdisk and fdisk see it as a NTFS partition, where as parted sees it as "linux-swap"... probably not significant but worth mentioning.

Your partitions doesn't seem to be aligned to cylinder boundaries. Maybe that is what is confusing GRUB?
What tool did you use to layout the partitions?
Have you tried booting Windows with an external boot loader such as "Smart Boot Manager" or "Ultimate Boot CD"?

Did you install Windows to sda3 or did you move it there? If you moved it, there will be no Windows bootloader found when grub chainloads to it.
