Just install grub to the MBR on hda, not to hda1. It won't corrupt the filesystem. Just know that if you ever do reinstall windows, it will overwrite the MBR, and you will have to boot from a live CD, mount and chroot into your linux system, and re-execute the grub "setup" command. The grub commands for this should be something like: root (hd1,0) setup (hd0) If it doesn't work, you can always change the boot order back and try again.
