Are they jumpered correctly?

Looks okay to me (but I'm not a grub user).
can you check the MBR manually?
Use the following sequence to check it:
dd if=/dev/hda of=./mbr.img count=1
xxd < mbr.img
*** does the output contain the word GRUB? ***
rm ./mbr.img
If it's not there, do the same thing but replace
/dev/hda with /dev/hda1 in the first line.
The BIOS is set to boot from the hda drive and not hdb, right?
If that wouldn't be the case, windows requires a drive remap.
