It's not something i have thought about or tried but i wonder if you can shrink your windows partition slightly and make a small ext3 partition in the space you have freed up. Maybe you could re-install Linux and put /boot in the small partition on your disc with windows on it. If you set it to boot windows by default I think it might work. Another method, if you have the option in the bios to choose which device to boot from is to disconnect your windows drive then install Linux on the other drive. Then reconnect the windows drive. That way you choose to boot windows or Linux from the bios. Or maybe i am completely wrong here. No doubt someone will let us know
