According to the documentation I need to have the set
root=(Drive,Partition)  It is an error though in that the partitions are
'1' based, so it was changed earlier to 

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply
type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to
change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
# cat /etc/grub.d/40_custom
#!/bin/sh
echo 'Windows ME'
#cat<<EOF
menuentry "WinME" {
chainloader (hd0,1)+1
}
EOF

as per an example I found on the Internet.

No errors, the menu choice shows up, but it won't boot.

Dave,
