Try doing an
c:>fdisk /mbr
after booting your system into DOS with your Windows Startup disk.

Subject: [newbie] I made a mistake
Hi,
I installed Mandrake 7.1 under windows 98 and after installation, Grub
provided a menu to choose operating system, Linux and windows. It worked
well. Later, I wanted to set windows to be default OS, So in
DrakeConf->DrakeBoot, I set the boot device from hda to hda1. Now I know I
should not set in this way, but I got a problem: The machine can only start
linux, not windows even though the windows option is still in the Grub menu
and even though I set the boot device back to hda.
I am quite new to the Linux world and don't know how to get windows back,
Could someone help me out?
Liangyu
