Is that the only reason?

You used to be able to do fdisk /mbr in windows. I don't know if that still works. There's a "repair boot loader" option in the mandrake 9.1 rescue whatsit, but I don't know what it does. AFAIK, Microsoft use the NT bootloader on Windows, so you'll probably want to look up how to get windows to rewrite that.
