Windows does not have to be on the primaey master to boot it just has to think it is. The first thing you need to do is to verify that Win will boot . To do this change the setting in your BIOS so that it boots first from hd1 instead of hb0 (some list them as C and D). If Win boots all you need do is use liloconfig to add Wins boot record. If Win will not boot then either the boot record has been damaged or the partition type is not set as primary,active ,bootable; this could have happened if you used DriveImage or a like program to copy Win to your 2nd hd.
