I'd suggest booting into the rescue mode and installing grub on your
Linux root partition (/dev/sda2), then using bootpart
(http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm) in Windows to generate a boot
sector file that will chain-load grub from the Windows boot menu.
Bootpart will also add the appropriate entry to your boot.ini file
whilst it's at it.
