Is this bug 1566 or another problem?

Argh. That's what I get for hijacking a thread. My setup isn't exactly
the same as the thread starter. I have a standard IDE drive, with the
Windows partition as the first. Before setting the drive to "assisted
LBA" (the closest I have to LBA), my system would just reboot when I
tried to boot Windows. Now (after changing to "assisted LBA"), GRUB
echoes the Windows Boot commands along with the 0x7 error. I've tried
the sfdisk suggestion; I get a boundary error from parted and I've
tried to reinstall Windows over the top of itself.

I've just created a GRUB boot floppy, is there a (safe) way to make
Windows install itself all over the MBR? When first researching this
problem, I read that using fdisk /mbr or fixboot would actually destroy
the partitions and require me to format. That can not happen. This is a
work PC.
