Nah, no need to dump it.  I would still like to see the Windows 2000 stanza in 
grub.conf....  Here would be my suggestion using map.

title Windoze 
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
boot

This will probably work in grub.conf.  From what I have read on this matter 
Windoze may see the other drive (Linux) and stall or delay boot.... wanting 
to own the entire system and all.  From what I have read you can disable the 
drive in doze Control panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager - Under Disk 
Drives right click on the Linux drive and disable it..  With grub you can 
also hide a drive, see the hide attribute of grub.

Good Luck
