Boot from your Windows CD, enter the recovery console and use the fixmbr and fixboot commands to reinstall the Windows bootloader.

If you have windows installed in the first partition, at grub prompt you can do

rootnoverify(0,0)
chainloader +1

if windows is in sone other partition you can accordingly use (0,1) (0,2) etc.

Yes,this is how i boot now.Windows is primary partition only.I know that i can load windows using commands. But i can't do it every time like this.

rootnoverify(hda0,0)
chainloader +1
