You use rootnoverify (hd1,0) rather than root (hd1,0)

Also, depending on your hardware configuration, the windows drive might
not be drive 1.  If it's still not working, you can change the hd1 on
the fly from the boot menu (press esc key to get the grub menu, then
press e key to edit the parameters for the entry.).  Try incrementing
the drive number until it looks as though windows tries to boot, then
you can fix menu.lst so the map commands are using the correct drive
number as well.
