OK, I just didn't know how much diagnosis you did already.  I know that under
DOS, you can type "fdisk /mbr" to zap the master boot record and replace it
with the standard DOS/95/98/ME one, but I don't know how you'd zap the boot
record on the partition rather than the MBR.

Check out the http://www.myshed.net/ site, they have 95/98/ME/NT/2000 boot disks
over there so you can at least boot into your Windows partitions for the time
being.  Also, somewhere (haven't found it yet) on the Microsoft Knowledge Base,
there *is* detailed information on the NT boot loader and how to reinstall it
on to a partition or disk.
