Needless to say, I look upon a re-install of Windows as a last resort.

Boot up with the Windows install disk and choose fixMBR option. I don't
have Windows so I'm not sure what it would look like (a menu item, I
assume) but I think it should be there. This will restore the Windows
loader program...

Instead of reinstalling Windows why don't you try reinstalling Xubuntu, so
you can use grub to boot both partitions, also check
this<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=grub&titlesearch=Titles>and
ubuntu
forums <http://ubuntuforums.org> in order to solve certain grub problems.

Cheers.
