    Unhappy GRUB screwed up everything

    Since I installed GRUB, I can't boot into Windows.
    Starting up...
    BOOTMGR is missing
    Press CTrl+Alt+Del to restart
    How do I fix this?
    My menu.lst file:
    title Windows Vista

    chainloader +1

    try making widows think its on the 1st hard drive in the boot order.
    Code:
    title Vista
       map (hd0) (hd1)
       map (hd1) (hd0)
       rootnoverify (hd1,0)
       makeactive
       chainloader +1
