How to get the Windows MBR working from a linux live cd

I spent a good hour trying to find something like this so I thought I should re post the link.

This uses a tool called ms-sys and all you need to do is boot into a linux live cd and install it (see link below) and then

ms-sys -m /dev/sda

Replace sda with the hard disk you want the boot record to be on.

and you are done
