GRUB won't boot windows

[Yakoob]

(I wasn't quite sure whether to put this in windows forums or linux, but I figured it fits better here).

I have 2 HDDs and I have installed Fedora Core 1 yesterday on one of them. In the process, the GRUB boot loader was also installed and it detected both the linux and windows that I have. However, when I try to boot Windows, nothing happens. Booting Linux works fine.

Here are some details:
The linux drive is Primary Master and the windows drive is Primary Slave (they are on the same cable). The Windows HDD is divided into two partitions: C:\ with the actual windows installation, and D:\ with some other files.
The actual code that GRUB uses to boot windows is:

hd(1,0)
chainloader +1

(or something like that)
I've tried playing with that (adding rootnoverify etc.) but still the same thing - the command lines are displayed to the screen and nothing happens.
And (obviously) I am using Windows98SE.

Just FYI, to boot different OSes right now, I set up the BIOS to first check for the Linux HDD (witch launches GRUB) and then to check the Windows HDD (which launches windows). When I want to boot linux, I just leave it like that and when I want to boot Windows, I simply turn off the Linux HDD (set the Primary Master to None). I'd much rather be able to use the GRUB, though...

So, any idea what might be wrong?

I think your second choice for posting in a Linux forum would have many more solutions since most people here think a Grub is bait.;)
Oh yeah, it's what cowboys eat also.:wave:

There is one thing I can see that may be wrong, but have a look
at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#DOS%2fWindows
and see if they answer any questions......

Also, the Linux guides will answer it better for you in the Linux Section
