        Not a biggie, but you'll have to reinstall a new copy of windows.
        You can also try to boot from a windows cd, choose repair
        "fixboot c:"

        But i thing the simplest way for you will be to reinstall windows or Linux

          ok so try this : you must boot with windows cd and type R (for repair) and after windows password, type the tree commands. (type enter after each line)

          fixmbr
          fixboot c:
          chkdsk c: /r /f (or chkdsk c: /r /p)

          reboot your computer, hope its work for your !
