What does fdisk -l /dev/sda say instead of parted?
Jim Cornette may be on to something with the make active, I do notice
though that your ntfs part is marked as boot....
If I read this correctly your boot(windows partition) is hda1 which grub
calls hd0,0 in your grub.conf you are telling grub to boot hd0,1 (which
is the #2 partition (hda2 in fdisk language) make the rootnoverify line
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
and you should be o.k.
