What is the exact error message you see when trying to boot?

Cause could be many things... most likely the drive doesn't have a valid MBR or there is no active partition.

Can you line item out what it is that you are doing and where you want to be with it when done? I am loosing track of this disk and that disk and the other disk and what not... be certain to indicate physical disk(s) and partitions(s) on those disks.

Normally, what I would do is something like:

Disk 0:
Partition 0: minimum size possible, FAT
Partition 1: rest of disk for OS 1 (linux)

Disk 1:
Partition 0: entire disk for OS 2 (windows)

Next, install grub (or equiv) into the disk(0,0) fat partition. Configure grub to boot winblows off disk(0,1) or linux of disk(1,0).

Don't use the winblows tools to manage your disks as microsoft hates competition and designs the tools so that they don't play well with others. I would save windows for the last thing I do and isolate it on the disk by itself, if possible.
