I can swear you chose to install a blank (empty) mbr as opposed to
leaving the current one untouched.
No, i had the same problem on my laptop. It's a known issue in
sysinstall since 6.x version that on some systems, no matter what you
select, it always erase the mbr.
For doug, you can use Hiren's Boot to start Windows. In fact, you can
use it as a hidden partition system, without it, it won't startup.
