Maybe you have virus protection in the BIOS switched on which can cause 
problems.

Reinstalling Grub is easy:
- Boot from the LiveCD
- Mount the root partition to e.g.: /mnt/Linux
- Do a "change root" the the mounted partition chroot /mnt/Linux
- run grub-install and it should be installed
- Check the manpage of grub, grub-install to get more informations

If it boots correct from the floppy, try to fix the partition boot 
record of the hda1. Otherwise I think you have a hardware/driver problem 
in windows.
