That is not neccesary.
You need to add an extra line to your grub config file if the OS you want to boot is on a different physical disk. It has been a while since I set up my bootloader so I cannot remember exactly what it was but you should just have to add something like this under the windows section in the file.
map (hd1) (hd0)
I would post my config file but I am at my parents for thanksgiving and I only have my laptop with me and all the operating systems on my laptop are on the same hard drive. My main computer has Win Xp, debian and vectorlinux and windows is on its own drive and I can boot it fine using Grub.
Google is an excellent resource for little problems like this and I bet you could find exactly what you are looking for within five minutes if the command I gave you does not work.
I am assuming you left the windows MBR intact and installed grub on your linux drive? If that is the case you should be able to tell your BIOS which hard drive to boot off of and boot into windows using that.
