"What worked for me was installing Windows 7 regularly, on a different partition of course. Then restoring GRUB, described in the section Restoring GRUB from here and Recovering GRUB after reinstalling Windows from here.
My /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like so:

title Windows
root (hd0,1)
map (hd0,0) (hd0,1)
map (hd0,1) (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

The map part fools Windows into thinking it's the first hdd/partition.
Good luck~"
