Sometimes GRUB doesn't boot Windows OSes installed in Partition other than First Primary Partition. Its BIOS/GRUB compatibility problem. Try SuperGRUB CD as suggested by budman7.
In case, it doesn't work, boot up from any LiveCD and execute fdisk -l command in Terminal/Konsole and post output here. You have to configure Windows Boot Loader to setup Dual Boot.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
