As root, edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file.  Add something like this:

title MS-DOS
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Change (hd0,0) to something else if dos isn't on the first partition (hda1).

I tried this, and it stated something like that ext3 could not be found. I then changed root to be (hd0,2). It gave me a more general error. I'm not sure what to try now.

All further suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
