    Why not just set Grub to boot to Windows by default with a 2 second selection time. Less hassle than changing bootloader, imo.

    If it's installed into the first sector of the partition, I'm guessing yes. If it's installed in the MBR (Master Boot Record), I don't think so. The safest way is to boot into the Recovery Console via the Windows CD and run FIXBOOT and FIXMBR, but if you don't have one I don't know what you can do.
