You need a new boot block. What I'd recommend is booting an install
floppy or cd, going to custom installation, checking the partitioning
(ensuring everything is correct), writing, and then selecting the boot
loader. I *think* this should work.
What I *don't* recommend is getting a fixit disk and running boot0cfg.
Last time I did that I spent three days recovering my partitions.
