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.
