Have your rescue CD (or first install CD) in hand and know how to 
install grub from the commandline.

Once you've mastered that, then redo Windows. Windows will replace grub 
and that will prevent you from booting Linux.

If you can boot from floppy, grub on a floppy is a fine thing to have. 
Nearly as good as a rescue cd.

Althernatively, a grub on a floppy image on a CD.

The idea is to have a safe copy of grub to hand where you can type in 
the commands you need to boot the computer when things are slightly borked.
