Exactly how did you get this to work?
I have windows on my slave drive but the commands you list above result 
in an error from grub about "invalid or unsupported executable format"

My exact grub format I am trying to use is
    map (hd0) (hd1)
    map (hd1) (hd0)
    rootnoverify (hd0,0)
    chainloader +1

I have also tried changing the rootnoverify (hd1,0)
tried changing the sequence of the last 2 lines,

And in every case I get the same error message from grub.

If I change bios to boot from the second drive it works perfectly, but 
that is less than ideal to have to change the bios setting for dual booting.
