Whenever you reinstall Windows, you will need to reinstall grub. This might work:
 
1) Enter in rescue mode with your CDROM
 
2) Identify the root directory by invoking the chroot command:
 
...# /mnt/sysimage/ (and enter)
 
3) I don't know which will work better, maybe someone can chime in, but you can try typing one of the following to see if it works:
 
...# grub (and enter)
...# grub-install /dev/hda (and enter) <--- I'm thinking this one
 
4) reboot
 
I'm no expert, but that should get you going...
