Installed XP on diff. partition and killed 2K!!!!!

OK, I installed WinXP on a new partition and now I can't get into Win2k! I use Boot Magic and when I click on the button to load Win2k I get an error saying that I'm missing or have corruped "ntoskrnl.exe" I have tried to replace that file, but with no luck. I have access to the Win2K drive from XP, so I can replace it if thats what I need to do. I was thinking that maybe with all this repartitioning my drive letters got screwed up and now win2k cant find its own directory. Thanks for the help!

Boot from your Win2K CD and select the "Repair Installation" option.
This will fix your problem.
 
Well I tried to boot with the CD and the recovery thing couldn't find my install, and I didn't make a 2000 boot disk, so it said it couldn't find it. When I went into the recovery console thing, I was able to find it (on the c: partition) but I didn't know what I could do to replace it. I can access the whole disk perfectly in XP, so I don't know if I need to use the recovery console. Thanks for the advice so far, its really great that people like you go out of their way to this forum to help people!!!!! Thanks!!
