Yes, Windows has a habit of doing that. You might be able to get back (almost) to normal by booting off a live CD and using grub-install. Moral of the story is: If you're going to have a dual/multi boot machine with windows anywhere on it, install windows first

That's absolutely no help for the zillions of windoz installs that are the inevitable windoz REinstalls.
