You need to install a MBR record and set the Windows partition as
bootable.
The package mbr should have such an MBR. It seems to have a command named
"install-mbr".
Should be pretty straight forward, but I never had to do it.
Otherwise you´d need some kind of Windows rescue CD/DVD and restore the
Windows boot loader from there.
Ciao,
