Okay, good luck, but looks like a lot of work that we here would not 
want to use anyway, (the windows boot, ie); Had used EasyBCD for other 
people's system to restore their mbr when they chickened out of linux 
and I think EasyBCD said they will work on grub2, same said by super 
grub as well. Personally, the empty grub-legacy and now the empty grub2 
boot cd's has been more than sufficient.

Let us know how it turns out.
