as in, you can no longer boot windows?
can you boot anything else?

if you just want to boot windows from grub, put something like this at
the bottom of your /boot/grub/grub.conf file:

title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

this assumes that your windows C: drive is /dev/hda1 (or sda1, if you
have a SCSI machine)
grub counts from 0!
(hd0,0) = first drive, first partition.
chainloader +1 = run the bootloader you find on sector 1 of this
partition.
