Windows recovery normally deletes grub or lilo from your system. You will need to re-install whichever you had installed (never used Centos so I don't know which one it uses).
But I want to recover my box.
There are some datas I didn't backup.

Is it an LVM partition?
You must have a boot partition then?
Do you know which partitions you have and what is where?
Where is grub installed?
Can you access your data (with ls and vi) from systemrescueCD?
Can you post your grub menu.lst file?
About your questions,
1) Is it an LVM partition? yes.
2) You must have a boot partition then? yes
3) Do you know which partitions you have and what is where? I cannot remember. I am searching for it.
4) Where is grub installed? /boot
5) Can you access your data (with ls and vi) from systemrescueCD? No
6) Can you post your grub menu.lst file? At this tme, impossible. If I can find out, I will post here. ===> I found, but it's 0 byte.
The above file list is made by vist, however it is from data recovery program - maybe r-studio. And this recovery program recovered 2/3 of lvm partition.
but could not make this disk bootable.
