I have seen something similar, the machine had dual boot (Karmic and XP?) and then Vista or 7 had been installed which overwrote grub. After I reinstalled the grub boot sector with the help of a live USB stick, Windows would not boot and complained about "NTLDR missing". The solution was to boot with the Windows install CD (twice!) which offered a repair option one time and a automatic recovery the other time, and finally everything was fine. I was impressed by the Windows CD which did this so easily (and without breaking grub again) but it was not obvious that you would have to boot the CD twice. However with some Windows experience you know that rebooting several times in a row can only be good and beats all logic reasoning. With older Windows, there is a command line recovery (from CD or 4 floppies!) where you can run two commands, "fixboot" which rewrites the boot sector on the Windows partition (might be equivalent to the above), and "fixmbr" which rewrites the master boot record (which will nuke grub again).
