As root, edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Add something like this:
title MS-DOS
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
Change (hd0,0) to something else if dos isn't on the first partition
(hda1).

I tried this, and it stated something like that ext3 could not be
found. I then changed root to be (hd0,2). It gave me a more general
error. I'm not sure what to try now.
Once GRUB boots, get a command line from GRUB and use the GRUB "find"
command to explore the drives on your computer, and see whether Window$
survived the shrink process. (If necessary, go to another machine, make
a GRUB boot CD or GRUB boot floppy from which to boot.)
The GRUB manual is on-line:
