GRUB won't go to windows, but bios will

When I boot, I can grub into linux, but when I try to boot windows it doesn't work. It shows a screen where it lists the commands:
root (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
and then starts beeping sporadically.
However, if I change the harddrive boot order in bios I can easily get back into windows by selecting that harddrive for the first slot. However, I don't want to do this everytime I want to switch operating systems. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
