Thanks for the help, but I actually already managed to fix it. The reason for the delay is that my weekend was consumed with attempting to do so.
Incidentally, I was prepared for Windows to overwrite my MBR, and I did manage to fix that. But the first time I booted it up, it changed Ubuntu's partition type, which caused an all-to-generic "GRUB Error 17" next time I tried to boot. After way too much Googling* I managed to figure out what had happened, run sfdisk to fix it, and then reinstall GRUB on the drive itself (rather than the Ubuntu partition). - Nathan *By which I mean "searching using the Google engine."
