grub cannot load windows 7

the slitaz installer did not configure grub properly to load windows 7

so i tried editing the menu.lst myself

and added the following lines:

title windows 7

root (hd0,0)

chainloader+1

boot

However i get the following error when i select windows 7:

"booting 'windows 7'

root (hd0,0)

Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7

boot

error 8: Kernel must be loaded before booting

press any key to continue..."

the partition is formatted in ntfs

I am sure it is correct drive

rootnoverify (hd0,0)

chainloader +1
