If you have a Win98 boot floppy laying around, you can boot it and at 
the dos prompt type "fdisk /mbr" (Without the quotes).  This will 
restore the  Microsoft master boot record.  Then reboot.  Then you don't 
have to deal with grub.  This assumes he didn't overwrite the whole 
windows installation with FC4.
