You don't need to reinstall grub. If it's working Ok and you can boot
into LFS then just edit grub.cfg to make an entry for windows,
something like this:
menuentry "Windows" {
set root=(hd0,1)
chainloader +1
}
(hd0,1) is the first partition on the first disk, /dev/sda1 on linux.
If Windows is on the second hard disk change that to root=(hd1,1)
