Is that the only reason? What sort of winmodem is it?

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.
