I've seen a number of threads on this on fedoraforum.org.  No Windows 
installer acknowledges the existence of a non-Microsoft OS and always 
overwrites your boot sector with its own code.  You need to use a 
LiveCD, or an installation disc in rescue mode to re-install Grub, then 
edit /boot/grub/grub.conf (or, use one of the various links to it if you 
prefer, but it's all the same file) to add an option for Windows. 
Windows first, Linux second is by far the easiest way to go.
