Hmm... that's weird. 0x81 means the 2nd harddisk. if u have a linux boot
disk, try running fdisk /dev/hda and press a for bootable flag, remove the
* or bootable flag on the linux partition, and make the windows partition
bootable.
fdisk works fine but could sometimes be unpredictable, go for grub or
cfdisk. or, try the freeware legendos boot manager for
win95/98/me/nt/2000. ive used it, and m satisfied with it.
