Installed Edubuntu, now, Windows won't boot....

[Bryan Quigley]

The windows command you are looking for is:
BOOTCFG Use this command for boot configuration and recovery. This command
has the following options: bootcfg /add
bootcfg /rebuild
bootcfg /scan
bootcfg /list

I would try scan, rebuild or add.  Although, I have not done this in a
while.  However this will most likely get rid of edubuntu or suse.  You
might have to follow it up with fixboot or fixmbr.  Again, it's been a while
since I've done this.
