This is confusing. I don't understand "hdh5" and I don't understand
what's with a "vfat partition" on the second drive thay you said contained
'/boot' and '/'.
It would be helpful if you posted the output of 'fdisk -l' with an
explanation of what you intend to be where. If you specified putting
the boot loader in the master boot record, it should be put at the
beginning of the windows disk which Linux should call "/dev/hda"
and which you called "HD1".
You should also include *ALL* of your grub.conf file, not just what you
consider the "pertinent part".
Offhand, it looks like the "Windows" stuff is pointing at the wrong disk,
but the output of 'fdisk -l', with an explanation of what you think
is where, should help.
