Default Unable to boot dual boot system

Hi,

I have 2 versions of Windows on my 20Gb HD. Win98SE on the first partition
(C and Windows 2000 on the second partition (D. For some reason the
boot record of my HD has gone and I am unable to boot. I have tried
starting with the Win98 startup disk and I can see C: drive and the old
boot.ini file.

I have done FDISK /MBR and SYS C: to try and get my machine to boot to Win98
but it is still freezing after bios detects my first hard disk. Does
anybody know what I can do to get my machine to boot? Should I consider
using a boot utility to replace my old boot loaders?

Thanks.
