If I want to have Grub boot up windows on my second drive, first partition how exactly do I modify this file. I see two lines both which have references to a disk (and to rdisk and multi whatever those are???) Do I change the 0 in the parenthesis following the word disk to a 1? Do I need to worry about "rdisk"? "multi"? My boot.ini file is very similar to the one you showed me except that the partition is set to 1 on both lines.
Just want to double check before I screw things up worse! I fear if I muck this file up wrong I will be back to reinstalling windows again... LOL

Marc, there are quite a few resources out there that explain how this
works. One is:

Basically it is as below when in this format:
multi(X)disk(Y)rdisk(Z)partition(W)\
