Partition Magic 5.0 messed up Win98 file system - HELP

A couple of days ago, I created an NTFS partition and I installed Win2K on it by booting from the Win2K cd. Win2k works, but now my older Windows 98 FAT32 partition doesn't work. When I select (in NT loader) to boot from it, it says "Inavlid System Disk." I booted into Win2k and looked at the FAT32 Windows 98 partition. It has two new folders: FOUND.000 and FOUND.001 each containing about 9000 recovered file fragments. Look like no good. The folders that were on that partition seem to be still there, but now they are files, and I can't open/browse them. So looks like, PM messed up the file system.
Well, if any one has ny suggestion here, PLEASE let me know. I have some valuable data I need on my FAT32 partition, which I would like to recover.
Let me know, if you need more details.



 
have you tried booting from a win98 boot disk then typing fdisk /mbr?


not sure if this will solve your probs.
