To get windows to boot again I would reinstall the windows boot loader
on the windows disk (the version of windows that they are using) by
booting to recovery and run the bootrec.exe /fixmbr. This is how I did
it, but this is for vista xp and such is going to be different. This
should work until u decide (and hopefully go back) in linux. This
might be the only way to boot into windows because grub only works in
linux.
