On my work computer I needed to set up a dual boot environment to do some Linux embedded development. I decided to use a new hard drive because I really didn't want to resize my NTFS partition. I moved my windows drive to channel SATA1 and plugged the new, empty drive into SATA0. The 10.04 install went smoothly. The problem arose when I went to load windows. I select it from the grub menu and get the following errors:
no such device: 568c325f8c323a37
no such partition.
here is the output of the boot info script:

The only thing that stands out to me is the boot.ini file. It says the windows partition is on drive0, partition 2. With the configuration I have post Ubuntu install, the Windows partition is sdb2 (hd1,2)
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
