I can also boot windows with the GRUB boot floppy. I don't think you needed to clear the mbr in the first place. I've been away for the last few days so I didn't get my two cents in :) It sounds like after you added a partition, all your partition numbers changed by one, so maybe all you had to do was put the new number in /boot/grub/grub.conf ... or maybe not, its a bit late to tell now. If this was the problem, reinstalling grub won't fix it because it'll still use the same /boot/grub/grub.conf file. To reinstall grub, I think you can just run grub-install /dev/hda for a standard installation on first hd.
