That is the same thing Linux installers do when they put Grub where it has no 
need to be on the MBR. With Linux also on a primary partition on the first 
HD, no MBR code needs to be different from what Windows put there, so Windows 
can safely be installed after Linux. The vast majority of my systems are 
multiboot with DOS and/or Windows and/or OS/2 and Linux and Linux and Linux 
and more Linux. None have MBR code that a Windows installation will change. 
The most a Windows installation will change in the majority of cases on my 
systems is two bits in the partition table moving the bootable flag.
