After installing grub-gfx and reinstalling grub - I can't boot windows

As the title says. I have no idea what went wrong. Here's my menu.lst:

# (0) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux
root   (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 libata.pata_dma=1 vga=792 ro
initrd /kernel26.img

# (1) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux Fallback
root   (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img

# (1) Windows
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

And here's my fdisk -l

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1        3824    30716248+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2            3825        3839      120487+  83  Linux
/dev/sda3            3840        5422    12715447+   5  Extended
/dev/sda4            5423        9726    34571880   83  Linux
/dev/sda5            3840        3963      995998+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6            3964        5179     9767488+  83  Linux
/dev/sda7            5180        5422     1951866   83  Linux

The only thing that happens, when choosing windows, is that grub prompts with a starting grub 2 (or something in that order) and then goes right back to the menu.

(I must stop idiotic tinkering with bootloaders)
