I have found that "smart bootmanager" can also mess up a Windows MBR.  I 
have done the check disk in Windows, and everything is all OK.  I 
suspect that my mistake was to let KUbuntu resize the Windows partition 
and to create LINUX partitions on the (Windows) C: drive (first IDE 
drive, primary master), but that was where I had the most available free 
space.

I have no problem in booting to Windows or KUbuntu using the floppy that 
KUbuntu created, so I can work effectively in WIndows when I wish to do 
so, but I would prefer to just have Windows boot normally if the floppy 
is not there.
