What you seem to have "lost" is your GRUB's booting Windows entry, 
nothing to worry about :-)

First, was windows menu there before? This is important, because if it 
was there, it should stay. Auto-deletion of any GRUB's menu entry could 
be considered a bug.

If it never was present, then it's fine. Automatic detection of other OS 
is not always possible, although desirable. Anyway, you can always 
manually add an entry for your OS.
