I like to keep each operating system's bootloader separate. So I use a third-party boot loader. The easiest to use is GAG, The Graphical Boot Manager ( http://gag.sourceforge.net/ ). You can install this now, and then be able to boot windows without having to fix the mbr. There are many other boot loaders that would work for this. I find this CD very handy: Utilmate Boot CD ( http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ ).
