I agree with the comment from Scott below. The starting partition is /dev/sda2 (1 through 710) but for some reason fdisk wants to call the (711 through 17538) /dev/sda1.
This output at least is easier for me than the Partition magic which I never used before.

If I read this correctly your boot(windows partition) is hda1 which grub calls hd0,0 in your grub.conf you are telling grub to boot hd0,1 (which is the #2 partition (hda2 in fdisk language) make the rootnoverify line rootnoverify (hd0,0) and you should be o.k. Scott
