Booting Windows from second drive, can't see D: partition |

Hi,
I've set up Grub on my system to replace Lilo, but I've got a problem. I
boot GNU/Linux from hda and Windows 98 from hdb. On hdb, C: is a large
primary FAT32 partition (hdb1) that is bootable, and D: is a logical FAT32
partition where windows is installed to. When I try to boot Windows from
Grub, it boots fine, but for some reason DOS can't see the D: partition
and thus can't start Windows, even though if I run fdisk from that DOS
environment, it sees and identifies the D: partition just fine. Linux
fdisk also identifies all partitions correctly.
When I boot from an MS-DOS floppy, I can read D: just fine. Only when
booting through Grub can DOS not see it. Here's my menu.lst entry for
Windows:
title Windows
root (hd1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
Here's the Lilo entry that booted Windows correctly:
other=/dev/hdb1
label=windows
table=/dev/hdb
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
Any ideas on why this might be happening? I'm using Grub 0.90.
