This bit looks wrong:

 "Chainloaer (#
> Chd 1,0)+1"

I'm assuming a typo for the word chainloader?  Anyway, it also appears
to be 'remarking' out part of the line that is relevant.  Again, it
may just be a typo.  Try this entered exactly as it is here:

title Windows
rootnoverify (sd0,0)
chainloader +1
