Ok well first you need to get a working menu.lst file in grub.
Mine looks like:
        title   Debian bf2.4
        root    (hd0,0)
        kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-bf2.4 root=/dev/hda1 hdc=ide-scsi

        title   Debian 2.6.0
        root    (hd0,0)
        kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0 root=/dev/hda1 hdc=ide-scsi

        title   Low-level Format
        root    (hd0,3)
        chainload +1

But yours would look like:
        title   Windows
        root    (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

        title   Redhat
        root    (hd0,1)
        kernel  /boot/name-of-redhat-kernel root=/dev/hda2

        title   Debian
        root    (hd1,0)
        kernel  /boot/name-of-debian-kernel root=/dev/hdb1

Then assuming grub is installed on redhat you would run grub
in redhat and enter the following commands:
root (hd0,1)    This tells grub that /boot/grub/ is on /dev/hda2
setup (hd0)     This tells grub to install itself on /dev/hda
