After highlighting windows in grub I get
windows
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

and that is all. I have to reboot at this point. Whit the other attempts I 
would get par of the grub entry and then "press any key to continue"

When I did the install I had to make the 20G (windows) master in order to boot 
it up from a disc. Then I changed the IDE ribbon and jumbers and installed 
Dapper Dan 6.06 on the 80G drive
That is why I was told to add
map		(hd1)(hd0)
map		(hd0)(hd1)
