Just boot the windows cd and use the repair (or restore - it's been a while)
option to fix the MBR. You will need to use the Ubuntu CD to recover the
space on your disk since windows can't (unless you have windows partitioning
software).

If you want to fix the grub error it's pretty easy. Even if you use windows
most of the time, having a second backup OS is useful.
