I have had grub do this sortta thing before...

Check your menu.list file and see if the entry for windows is still there, I 
have seen it disappear or somehow be eaten.

/boot/grub/menu.list

I don't have an example code in front of me but you can look it up and verify 
it, mostly you just need to make sure there is a label and that it points to 
the windows partition. Remeber drive and partition numbers start with 0 (second 
partition on first hard drive is hd(0,1)

I would so check that out before running installation scripts.

Hope it's helpful;

Try mounting /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda3 and see if they're still working right.
If not, you might need to fsck them (ideally from a Windows install disk,
which would call the function "chkdsk").
