When you change the root line you also have to change the map lines. This should work.

I would have thought hd1 ?
What partition is Windows OS installed to /dev/sdb1 -- (hd1,0)  or  /dev/sdb2 -- (hd1,1) ?
I see you active (boot) partition is set to /dev/sdb1
(forgive me if I've run off track here)

Assuming the the posted Windows stanza is the one that previously worked, and the only change was the adding of a drive, (as was specified) only the drive number needs changing. The partitions on the Windows drive would not have changed.
