since windows wants to be the only OS, it will delete GRUB during
installation. you will not be able to reach grub menu. but there are
two simple ways



1- copy grub to floppy and boot (set bios to boot from floppy) 

or

2- boot from a live cd and install grub (set bios to boot from cdrom)



assuming you have a single IDE harddrive



#grub-install /dev/hda or #grub-install hd0



#grub

grub>root (hd0,0)

grub>find /boot/grub/stage1

grub>setup (hd0)
