Grub wont boot Windows?

I have an FC6 computer that I'm certain worked initially but will not 
now boot Windows 2000.

I don't know what more to do other than reinstall Windows and then 
that's going to mess the Linux boot process.

Grub.config is:

cat /etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,1)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=15
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen ro 
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
        module /initrd-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen ro 
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
        module /initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen.img
title Windows 2000 Pro
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

Which looks ok to me.  However when I get the splashscreen that asks to 
"press any key"
nothing happens?  I can press Enter or the Space Bar and it ignores the 
keyboard and contiues
conting down until the FC6 boot process begins.

fdisk shows:

fdisk -l /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1        2550    20482843+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2            2551        2563      104422+  83  Linux
/dev/hda3            2564        9729    57560895   8e  Linux LVM


Any thoughts on what to try next are welcome.
