problem with dual boot

I have win2k and mandrake 9 dual booting. Win2k was loaded first then Mandrake 9 on a separate hd. when ever I reboot from Linux and boot into windows then reboot and get into Linux I get an error while booting. Error is as follows:
"EXT3-fs: Journal inode is deleted mount: error 22 mounting ext3 flags kernel panic: No init found. Try passing in it = option to kernel."

If I reboot from Linux to Linux its fine.. just seems to do it only when I boot into windows then into Linux..

What's going on here? Thanks for any help.
