If you install windows after installing linux, windows will overwrite the MBR. Re-installing grub using the Fedora rescue mode should work. Hopefully this article http://www.ece.concordia.ca/~yu_luo/fc3_grub.html will help you.

I think you can just install windows and after that use the Fedora rescue mode
to restore the Grub installation and add Windows to the grub menu.
A similar approach will be needed when you need to reinstall windows, which is
a far as I know sometimes needed :-)
