Unhappy Need help with getting back to windows [darwin bootloader]

Hey, last night i decided to try to dual boot Mac OS X 10.5 with the Kalyway AMD patched iso. It worked, despite the fact i don't have a usb keyboard; i copied and pasted the name of my mac partition [2] into every text input area. But now i cannot get back into windows. I want to remove the Mac OS because it's pointless without a keyboard, but when i reboot, i get the Darwin Boot Loader when my Mac DVD is in the drive, if not, i get a network boot, and neither will allow me to boot windows XP. I am hoping that i do not have to restore my windows, because i am not del/ting my 6 gigs of music. Do i have to set the windows partition [1] to active? Any help would be great, thanks. =]

[EDIT]
I do not know how to set the partition as active.

Pull the hard drive out out of your personal computer and hook it up to another computer. Pull the data you want off to a separate storage device so you can save the data you value.
