>You have 2 hard disks hda and sda and in order to address 2nd hard disk u need to address it by calling it hd1.
So your windows booting device becomes (hd1,0) insdead of
(hd0,4).Because boot record for your windows drive is installed on 2nd
hard disk and 1st parttiton.
Just change line rootnoverify (hd0,4) to rootnoverify(hd1,0)
It should work...
