Code:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINDOWS

This may actually differ when you've got a USB key plugged in, depending on how you've or the BIOS mounted it.
But it works now anyway.


That's actually how I got it installed lol.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it was trying to boot Windows from partition 1, thus giving me the error. But telling my BIOS to boot from my flash drive, then telling that to boot from partition two allowed me to complete the install.

And I think adding the 'boot' flag to my Windows partition allowed it to be booted without the flash drive. I don't entirely understand the flags, and whatnot, but both Windows and Linux boot without any problems, so yay!

I'm gay.
