A second linux install might override the "primary" install's grub if you don't watch what you are doing, usually no big issue though, it should still be possible to boot the primary OS and reinstall this one's grub if desired. Windows is a pain in the neck of course, still booting a Live system and reinstalling grub from a chroot environment seems comparatively easy to me compared to the OP's troubles ;) But anyway, I just wanted to mention what struck me when I glanced through the thread, I have seen similar discussions before where the sda vs. sda1 issue was actually the problem and somehow was overlooked while discussing more elaborate technical details.
