I have tryed a few different things. But my windows is on HDB1 with only one partition. How would I change the root command "root (hd0,0)" to boot windows?

Here's part of mine, changed to fit your situation.

default 0
timeout 5

title Windows
root (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
boot

title DSL
root (hd0,2
etc etc

I tried that but it returns something like "unknown file system partiton type 0X07" or something like that

Windows CAN'T boot from anywhere else than the first disk!
It must be "swapped" before trying that:

default 0
timeout 5

map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)

title Windows
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
boot

title DSL
root (hd1,2
etc etc
