I think that if you backup your Linux with partimage it will also 
provide you with the option of backing up your MBR, and thus being able 
to rewrite the MBR when you restore with partimage (you can do this from 
a Knoppix CD). I should tell you though, that while I've done the backup 
part, I don't think I've ever tried the restore part (with the MBR, that 
is), but I guess that if you check the partimage documentation, you 
should be able to confirm this.

Still, your grub or lilo data file won't have a reference to boot up 
Windows, but that should be easy enough to write in.
