You could look at

If grub is already installed in Linux then, and boot to Linux and then
"grub-install /dev/hda" for exapmle and this will install grub on
/dev/hda and I believe in my experiece that the system will now use grub
as the boot loader, now getting windows to boot as well, grub should
find it and place an entry for windows but in my experince this is not
always correct and I have to start looking at cfdisk etc to see what
needs to be changed in /boot/grub/menu.lst
