help! Installed linux on a computer with windows and now windows doesnt work!

I installed linux on another computer with windows and it does not boot, although linux does. Why is this? I think the windows partition is primary and the linux boot partition is primary, but I do not think this would make a difference. It just makes a blinking curser and says booting windows

Yes, it did not do anything though...well it just made it so I couldn''t boot to linux or windows, but I just reinstalled linux.

What if I were to just get another hd and use it as a slave? Techniqually I should be able to see the stuff that is on it. Then copy the boot.ini file from the new hd to this one. Would it work then?
