That's the idea, yes.  I would do the re-installation of the MBR in 
Windows with the Linux drive removed for safety, then put it back and 
explicitly install GRUB on the Linux drive's MBR.

I was driving a mini-bus for school girls before Christmas and they were 
doing a spot of carol singing as we went along.  I pointed out that the 
van had a CD drive and suggested they could bring a CD along to sing to. 
  I might as well have suggested that they brought a gramophone and some 
78s given the reaction I got.
