Help with getting back the dual boot

well, it's a simple question really. I had a WinMe/Win2k dual boot. WinMe stinks, so I reformatted the WinMe partition and "reinstalled" Win98SE. Of course, in doing so, my dual boot was lost. I'm wondering how ( if possible ) to recreate the dual boot WITHOUT having to reinstall win2k. Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Did you make an Emergency Repair Disk for Windows 2000?
If not, you could always try booting from your Windows 2000 CD and fix the MBR to make 2k the default and use 2k's boot.ini to configure your dual boot setup

Boot off the W2K CD and choose the option to do a repair. Uncheck all of the repair options except "inspect boot sector". That'll put it back for ya.
 
well, I tried the cd-boot... that worked, but when it's copying over the files it tells me my ohcyada-yada.sys file is corrupt and exits. So I tried booting off the 4 disks, worked, but then it tells me it can't find my win2k installation, and since I don't have the emergency disk ( note to self: create emergency disk when win2k is back ). So I guess my question is this: is there a way I can create an emergency repair disk off the cd in Win98, OR a website where I can download one?

thanks for all your help thus far... please, keep it coming. =)
