This looks like you are telling the grub that the grub boot floppy
also includes the window bootloader.

If this doesn't boot windows, try:
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainload +1

^--------------^ should this be initrd.img-2.4.18-k7?
'initrd (hd1,5)' indicates your kernel image is in a different
partition than it's initrd.img.
Need a little more info. Please open a terminal, su to root, and then
run /sbin/grub.
grub> find /vmlinuz-2.4.18-k7
grub> find /initrd-2.4.18-k7
grub> find /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-k7
grub> find /boot/initrd-2.4.18-k7
and post the results back to the list.
