Boot into rescue mode using Fedora CD1
1. Mount the root partition
mount -o dev,rw /mnt/hdax
2. Install GRUB
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/hdax /dev/hda

hdax - the linux partition (hda2,hda3...)
/dev/hda - the drive to install GRUB

I've not tried it out, but it may work

There is no way to do that.. But you can restore Grub after installing windows..
