I cannot boot into WINDOWS: When I booted my machine I got two options DOS and Linux, when i select Linux it boots fine, when i select DOS i get an error

Disk write error Pls press any key to reboot

These are the things that I tried :

1. I erased the MBR and then did a lilo -v in rescue mode. No luck although.

2. Tried installing grub instead of lilo

grub-install /dev/hda

No luck

3. I erased the MBR and then re-installed WINDOWS in the same folder C:\WINNT

When you re-installed Windows, GRUB/LILO should have been overwritten by the NTLDR and you should have been able to boot Windows. Or atleast after that, GRUB should have been inaccessible.

What exactly happened after you reinstalled Windows in C:\WINNT?
