But then I looked at an old grubconf and this was booting windows on my 
system.

title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=/dev/hdb2 rhgb quiet
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img

title CentOS-4 i386 (2.6.9-55.EL)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-55.EL ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-55.EL.img

 
title WindowsXP
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

This was on sda and yours sdb = (hd1,0)
