I had tried the grub configuration which you have suggested before, from the wiki.
But still there wasnt any use :(

Drivemap module to the rescue!! ^^
Hoping to resurrect the discussion about it, I developed the module
for just that purpose: I have a similar configuration, in which
Windows refuses to boot if its drive is not "the first BIOS drive".

In some cases and versions of Windows you can make it work without the
drivemap module with:
menuentry "Windows" {
    set root=(hd1,1)
    chainloader +1
}
But not all versions of NTLDR obey the "boot drive" parameter passed
in DL: in GRUB legacy, this was solved by the "map" command which made
Windows believed it was booting from the first BIOS drive by
intercepting all BIOS I/O calls and mapping the drive numbers - the
proposed "drivemap" module does the same in GRUB2, but it's not been
accepted yet (ahem xD).
