I got the same problem but, I added this which I found above but changed the hd0,0 to hd0,1 because of the dell recovery partition which is under hd0,0. When Windows booted it checked for consistency and did whatever it thought it had to do and worked fine after wards
So editing the menu.lst file does work
title Microsoft Windows
root (hd0,1)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
