SATA confusion

I was able to install WindowsXT on a SATA drive. This Ubuntu is on
the other IDE drive. To get windows to load I had to disable the IDE
drive. When windows was loaded I could not get to Grub. So I unplugged
power to the SATA drive and again Grub worked as expected.
Today I wanted to dual boot with windows. So I plugged in the SATA
drive and with the Ubuntu live cd in operation I looked with fdisk and I
had a /dev/hda which is the IDE and /dev/sba which is the SATA drive.
I put the grub setup on (hd0) and so with both drives working grub
works. But for some reason I cannot get windows to boot. I am afraid
there is no (hd??) that fits the SATA /dev/sda1 which is where it is.
Any ideas?
