Well, this happened once when I messed up my Fedora Core installation and made 2 primary partitions instead. Then, all I remember doing was run a fixmbr and fixboot which apparently didnt work, then I used the recovery console and deleted the new partition and made it free space, now windows booted. After booting I added the freespace to an extended partition via the fdisk options...
