grub for triple boot

[Thufir]

The slave hard drive on my box is dual boot windows/linux.  The master 
also has linux.  This makes for three OS's.  Only the master hard drive is 
booting at the moment, which I'd like to fix.  All data has been backed 
up.

When I attempt to boot windows I get an excerpt from /boot/grub/grub.conf 
as follows:

   title Other
           rootnoverify (hd1,0)
           chainloader +1


Other meaning windows (which I should change).  Prior to installing linux 
to the master, windows on the slave booted fine.  However, linux on the 
slave didn't boot.  To expedite things I just went ahead and installed 
linux on the master, as that seemed easiest at the time.

I know that grub can be edited, but I don't how it should be changed.

Perhaps this is related to the MBR on hdb?  I don't mind re-installing 
windows to hdb, I wanted to repartition anyhow.
