    had similar problem but was able to recover windows mbr using mandrake cd1.

    if you are able to get your hands on mandrake 10.1 cd rom disc 1, just boot from that cd, at the boot prompt press F1, type rescue. in the options menu there will be restore windows boot loader.

     

    I think this should solve your problem

    I was once having win98, XP, mandrake 10.1 & knoppix on my system.All running fine without any conflict.

    First of all let me clarify that i have 2 hdd 80 GB each.

    1 hdd was dedicated only to windows & the other to linux.

    I first installed knoppix

    then installed mandrake 10.1 on a different partition.

    this wrote out the MBR ofr knoppix.

    I coppied following files to /boot dir of mandrake from knoppix:

    system.map, initrd.img, vmlinuz

    edit /grub/menu.lst file as

     

    title "name of new distro"

    root(hd1,0)

    kernel/boot/vmlinuz "kernel no" ro root=LABEL=/initrd/boot/initrd "kernel no" .img

     

     

    try out.

    it worked fine for me.
