That's probably what you want to do if you wish Windows to boot no longer, as it replaces Windows' standard MBR code with Grub code. It may work, depending on Windows version and whether there's a functional chainloader entry for booting Windows. If however you do 'setup (hd0,rootpart#)'[1], then you won't destroy the MBR code Windows depends on. Additionally, not replacing standard MBR code with non-standard MBR code, and not depending on non-standard MBR code, means Windows virtually inevitable repairs won't be destroying the ability to boot Linux. [1] works only if rootpart# is 1-4, or if you provide an intermediary step for reaching higher numbered / Linux partitions, or alternate bootloader reachable via standard MBR code. cf. http://fm.no-ip.com/PC/install-doz-after.html -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
