I got the same result.  I also had the advice of using the grub command 
line to enter the commands directly:

grub> rootnoverify (hd0,0)
grub> makeactive
grub> chainloader +1
grub> boot

I then get the message:

invalid boot.ini file
booting from C:\windows
missing file \windows\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
use original setup CD-ROM (select 'r' at first screen for repair)

Which CD, I don't have (since MS doesn't trust us with that kind of 
thing anymore, I suppose).

So- any thoughts?

cheers-
