Booting windows from GRUB

I appologize, this isn't really an Arch issue but I just installed Arch x64 on my desktop. I have windows server 2003 installed on another drive, and I have GRUB as the boot loader on the disk with Arch. My problem is that I'm unable to boot windows from GRUB. I have ensured that I have the correct drive and partition specified in menu.lst. When I do try to select windows from the GRUB menu, It gives me a short message saying it's booting from that partition, but then just hangs. From what I've read, GRUB cannot boot windows directly, but must chain to ntldr. Are there special changes I have to make to GRUB to do this? Any help greatly appreciated

Re: Booting windows from GRUB

what does your menu.lst section look like for booting windows?

here is an example that the wiki gives for windows on a 2nd drive http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gru … _hard_disk
depending on the way you have your drives setup, you might have to modify the "map (hd#) (hd#)" to fit your needs.
