One of the silly things about GRUB is that it starts numbering partitions
with number 0, rather than number 1 like fdisk does.

It isn't necessary for /etc/fstab to mention your Windows partition in
order for GRUB to be able to boot it.
If Windows is on partition /dev/hda1, then /boot/grub/menu.lst should
contain something like this:
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
If this doesn't help, please post: (1) the contents of
/boot/grub/menu.lst; (2) the results of "fdisk /dev/hda -l".
