get a grub floppy and boot off that untill you can get your 
own boot manager to go. See section 3.3 of

http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall

The block for windows (assuming it's on the first partition) 
is

Title Windows
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
