After FAI install, try to boot with a DOS/Windows floppy with "sys".
Make sys c: and then you could boot on your DOS/Windows parition.

For another FAI installation, you have to use "dd" to save the
bootsector on your DOS/Windows partition and then tar your files. 
Use something like "dd if=/dev/hdx of=/bs-file bs=512 count=1".

Perhaps, you can use partimage too.
