  JJ,
What boot loader are you using?  LILO uses a config file in etc
called lilo.conf  After editing it you have to run the lilo
program to load it onto the drive.
 My entry for windows looks like this:

other=/dev/hda2
    label=doze
    table=/dev/hda

You will, of couse, need to change the device reference to the
partition you are using.  The table entry should just point
to the disk, not the partion.

  Grub is the other popular boot loader.  I don't have much
experience with it, but here is a config from it's config,
menu.lst

title windows
root (hd1,1)
map (0x81) (0x80)
map (0x80) (0x81)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Again changing the drive and partition references to your
setup.
