I have windows XP on a second drive, and I have set GRUB to chainload windows exactly as described in the wiki:
# (2) Windows
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader +1
Arch is on the master and windows on the slave. Both show up in the bios. Windows was installed first.
But when I try to start windows, I get:
root (hd1,0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
savedefault
Error 15: file not found
Press any key to continue...
Then I press a key and go back to the grub menu. Arch starts good though. Does anyone know why windows isn't starting? Thanks.

Try getting rid of the savedefault.

Not sure if you need the map either.

I got rid of the savedefault but kept the map lines. And that fixed it.
