I know it won't help you now, but for the general case: It is a very
good idea to save MBRs. Restoring an MBR is a quick and painless way to
bring back a former state o

From the point the message below, I would set up freebsd to give me a
graphical gui so I can use gparted to unflag the bsd partition as boot
and flag the windows as boot. Before restarting, I would copy
/boot/boot1 to somewhere accessible by windows named something like
freebsd.boot.
Then I'd

from GoBack.

1 to C:\BOOTSECT.BSD. However, if
FreeBSD is installed on a different disk /boot/boot1 will not work,
/boot/boot0 is needed.

I don't know.
It's been $years since I've had to use a Windows install CD for such a
thing.
If it's win32, my experience would have me recommend just booting from a
floppy of a win boot disk to restore the MBR
