21 Problem solved! My system is arranged thusly:
22
23 Grub is installed on hd0 and hd1 (they are a RAID mirror). These are known as
24 hda and hdc in Linux. Windows is installed on hd2,0. This is known as sda1
25 in Linux.
26
27 I had to add:
28
29 title=Windows doesn't play nicely with others
30 map (hd2) (hd0)
31 map (hd0) (hd1)
32 map (hd1) (hd2)
33 rootnoverify (hd2,0)
34 makeactive
35 chainloader +1
36
37 to my grub.conf. Actually, I could simply do these maps instead:
38
39 map (hd2) (hd0)
40 map (hd0) (hd2)
41
42 since hd0 is identical to hd1.

44 Thanks for all the help, everyone.
