I don't have access to my dual boot machine atm, but I think the Windows
entry looks like

Windows
  root (hd0,0)
  chainloader +1

On my system.  I'm not a grub syntax expert so there may be more than one way
to specify the same thing.  If I can get to my other machine before you get a
more definitive answer, I'll post my menu.lst
