Boot from a windows startup disk and run the following command multiple
times (5 or 6):
fdisk /mbr

For some strange reason the m$ utilities for this kind of thing fail to
overwrite the boot block. I wonder if this is related to the fact that the
partition table for m$ ignores the first 500 bytes or so of the
partition. At any rate, this will resolve your problem.
