Partition type 0x7 is NTFS. More on this in a few lines.

I'd bet this isn't working either.

So.... Windows and Linux are on the same partition [root (hd1,0)]? That's a good trick.
Do keep in mind that changing the boot order in the BIOS changes the order that GRUB will see, as well. Since you can boot Windows, I'm assuming that (1,0) is your NTFS Windows drive/partition as expected. Since you made hdb the boot drive, it's now (hd0,0) instead of (hd1,0). The map lines hit AFTER the root line, so it's remapping the hard drives and making Windows happy, but your Linux install isn't getting booted. If your Linux kernel was on the Windows drive and read/wrote NTFS, it would work, but they don't, so it doesn't.
If you change the root line in the linux GRUB section, and the one in the splashimage line, everything should work as you expect.
Sorry if this was figured out later in the thread, I stumbled here via a wayward Googling and decided to answer just in case before moving on.
Edit: Yeah, looks like the admin guru sorted you out. NM me.
