You are using the ntldr (default windows boot loader) in the MBR. this
should know that you have another operating system that needs to be
booted.
1) Boot using the installation media and go to rescue mode.
2) Get a shell (Alt-F2) might work.
3) Assuming that the partition that contains Linux is hda6
dd if=/dev/hda6 of=/tmp/linux-boot.img bs=512 count=1
4) This will copy the first 512 bytes - boot sector of your linux
partition.
5) Transfer this file to your windows partition. I generally keep this
in a directory called c:\boot
6) Edit c:\boot.ini to include this file
c:\boot\boot.img="Linux"
And reboot.
