use a lilo boot disk (you should have made one when you installed). boot from that and then login as root. type lilo at the prompt and you should see it saying `adding linux windows'

just reboot without the floppy and things should be fine

Hopefully Alex's reply has already sorted you out. Incase you didn't understand what has happened is Windows has overwritten your MBR (Master Boot Record) and in the process trashed LILO. A bit of a pain but easily fixed.
