I am assuming 1. you are in linux and have both installed and 2. you still can't get into windows.
In linux right click on Beaver icon and select run as root in beaver click the open file and navigate to /boot/grub and open the file menu.lst in beaver with the file displayed scroll to the bottom and make sure there is a section that looks like: title Windows root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 makeactive boot make sure there are no # (pound or number signs) in front of these. the (hd0,0) means hda1 (the hd0 is hda or first hard disk and the ,0 is the first partition or 1) you must make sure this matches your windows install (if you installed windows on the main partition this should be good). Most of all make sure the comments (# signs) are removed from in front of each line in that section.
save the file and reboot.
When I installed grub it asked me if I had windows on hda1 but put comments in front of the lines so it would not get recognized.
