Its most likely the first / primary / bootable partition being 
unreadable by Windows thats causing the problem. You could try swapping 
your first two partitions aound ... but it might not work.

Playing around with partitions? I recommend Ranish 
http://www.ranish.com/part/ for that sort of thing, aslong as you have a 
floppy drive. Its old, but usually works.
