Copy a DOS/XP/whatever boot sector over the MBR that GRUB installed.
FIXMBR.EXE (should be on most 'Doze install CDs) will do this, or if you're
really old-school, FDISK /MBR will do the same thing. There's probably a
tool to do this on the Ultimate Boot CD as well. GRUB is erroring out
because it can't find its stage 2, which was almost certainly on the Linux
partition.
