the prblem here is more related to the drive placement .. 

As he mentioned .. 

hda -> windows drive disconnected 
hdb -> Linux drive with gentoo

Using (hd0,0) with grub is not going to work at all since he's trying to install grub to the disconnected hda1 drive containing windows.
He should be using (hd1,0) to install grub to the linux drive on hdb1

Since he's at the grub/lilo stage  he's already fdisked and install the whole machine .. so I doubt it will be partition type related
