GRUB doesn't chainload my WinXP :-(

grave enough i also have to use winblows, but however, here's my problem:

got 2 Quatum Fireball 40GB, primary master and slave, hda is gentoo. grub is installed in mbr of hda (boot partition is ext3 hda1). version is 0.93.20030118

of course gentoo boots just fine, but my winblows (one primary partition ntfs5.1 on whole second drive) doesn't squeak at all. grub outputs at boot that it has found a partition (hd1,0) of type 0x7 unknown on chainloader +1 and that's it. looking up drive configuration in grub command line at boot time results a clean setup, root (hd0,0) as ext2/3, following part. 1,2,3 and hd1,0 itself.

i can't imagine why this setup doesn't boot, the winblows is an updated win2k that did as less as xp by now.
##
my menu.lst:
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3

title=Windows XP
root (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
##

any ideas?
