It's possible your Windoze MBR became corrupted. If you restore your MBR
and still don't find success I would suggest a solution. Simply have LILO
on your Linux disk and make your Linux disk master and your windoze disk
slave. That's how my system is set up and it works fine (however I am using
GRUB).
