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.
