You didn't mention which version of windows you are running.

WinXP, 2K, NT -  Boot from the Windows CD, Choose Rescue mode and go to 
console.  Type fixmbr and allow it to recreate the windows bootloader.  
Remove CD and restart.

Win98, ME, and other 16 bit versions, Boot from the CD or boot floppy, get to 
a command prompt and type fdisk /mbr  (IIRC) and that should recreate the 
windows boot sector on the hard drive.
