Can you give us a little more information?
Is this a UEFI boot or regular? Windows 7 or xp ?

If it's regular then the fix is to use the windows CD and do a fixMBR or fixboot. then you will have to reinstall grub to the MBR.

you can do the grub fix by downloading boot-repair from here. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair)

(Follow the instructions on the page)
you can find the instruction to restore the windows boot for windows 7 on this page (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/20864-mbr-restore-windows-7-master-boot-record.html)
