OK, using the map drive option did not work, I would think that having

No so, as I am finding out.
John I am reading the grub info file and it is far better than man
grub. It talks about loading another grub at the MBR of another hard
drive. That might just work.
I read the thing for chainload and it seems you need:
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
boot
That is all.
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)
