EdwardDuffy: If the FIXMBR command isn't enough, try also using FIXBOOT. This will reset the boot record of your Windows partition. If you are confused by Master Boot Record (MBR) and Boot Record, suffice it to say, there is always only going to be one MBR per Hard drive, but there is going to be one Boot Record for each bootable partition. The MBR is responsible for loading (or specifically, "chain-loading") the BR. The MBR is at the beginning of the drive, the BR is at the beginning of the partition.
