windows will over write the MBR of unix and it will take you directly into windows when you start the machine.. you can't see the GRUB.

I have faced this problem once, always we need to install in the following sequence windows first, second unix and third linux.

Not sure whether we have other solutions, check well before doing the windows installation.
