If you only have 2 HDs (first SCSI, second IDE) then root(hd2,0) should be (root(hd1,0). 0 being first, 1 being second. Grub doesn't recognize non-HD, so CD/DVD etc. are ignored.

I probably should have mentioned this sooner, but I didn't see it. I was focusing on Grub. Windows usually prefers being the first partition. That could be causing the problem.

That certainly contradicts the severl times I've read people having problems with it. I'm not doubting you though.
