Drivemap module to the rescue!! ^^
Hoping to resurrect the di= scussion 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:
menuen= try "Windows" {
    set root=3D(hd1,1)
    chainl= oader +1
}
But not all versions of NTLDR obey the "boot drive" parame= ter passed
in DL: in GRUB legacy, this was solved by the "map" command w= hich made
Windows believed it was booting from the first BIOS drive byintercepting all BIOS I/O calls and mapping the drive numbers - the
pr= oposed "drivemap" module does the same in GRUB2, but it's not been
accep= ted yet (ahem xD).
