This would not be a wise thing to do.  They should
first check that their windows partition is still
present by doing an
# fdisk -l
and upon confirming that it is there add the entry for
windows manually.  Otherwise, it would indeed be a
disaster.

This happened to me as well on a machine, I did not
even noticed.  Then I wanted to boot Windows, and the
grub entry was not there.  So I said to myself "oh
shit", but I did what Jason said, manually added the
entry to grub.conf and I was able to boot up windows
again.  

Regards,

Antonio
