I have had to reinstall Windows after setting up the dual boot with Kubuntu 
(linux) . Since then I have not been able to get the Windows to boot without 
using "Super Grub". 
This is what I have at this time---
default		4
timeout		30
#hiddenmenu
color cyan/blue white/blue

title		Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-27-386
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-27-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-27-386
savedefault
boot

title		Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-27-386 (recovery mode)
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-27-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro single
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-27-386
boot

title		Ubuntu, memtest86+
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/memtest86+.bin 
boot

I have Linux on Master hda (80Gig) and Windows on Slave hdb (10Gig).
Windows is one partition of about 9.? Gig and a second of 650M. I have the 
both flaged as ntfs. 
When trying to boot Windows This is what I get:
----
root	(hd1,0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition Type 0x7
map (hd0)(hd1)
Error 11: unrecognized device string
---
I appreciate anyone that can straighten me out on this.
I had it working at one time but lost it. 
Thank you, Dick
