If your Windows partition is /dev/hda1 then change your line to rootnoverify (hd0,0). If hda2 then (hd0,1). 1st drive is always 0, 2nd is 1, and so on.
/dev/hda1 W95 ext'd (LBA) <- boot
/dev/hda5 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda6 Linux Swap
/dev/hda7 Linux
/dev/hdb1 HPFS/NTFS
You might have success using the map command in the menu.lst. This is used to fool windows into thinking it is on the first drive where it always wants to assume it is located.
Code:
menu.lst:
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
map (hd1) (hd0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
makeactive
chainloader +1

If you say Windows is on the master the master drive is it the /dev/hda5 partition. If it is actually the /dev/hdb1 then to me it means the Windows drive is the slave. Windows does not like to boot unless it is C. We need to trick grub to make windoes happy.
Try this.
title Windows
root = (hd1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
