/boot/grub/menu.lst normally has 1 example for booting MS-Windows

if you know what partition your MS-Windows was using it's not so hard
to make a new entry and run "sudo update-grub" in a terminal

(0,0) = first disc, first partition
(1,1) = second disc, second partition
so, /dev/hda3 == (0,2) in grub etc.
