Get rid of the "makeactive" line -- it's unneccessary, and may cause
you no end of headaches... What that line does is change the "active"
(bootable) partition - in this case, to your WindowsXP partition which
probably isn't what you want...

Get rid of the "root (hd1,0)" line -- it's unneccessary (and may be
what's causing your problem)...
You can try using the "map" command to swap the drives around (as far
as the BIOS/Windows is concerned):
title=Windows 2000
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
...would make your BIOS/Win2K to think that /dev/hdb is /dev/hda, and
vice versa. Most versions of Windows that I've messed around with
require being installed to a primary partition on the first hard disk.
This solution works around that limitation.
