You could try invoking the Windows Recovery Console and
attempt to run fixboot and fixmbr.
Steps:
1. Insert win2k CD into a bootable CD-ROM drive and Reboot.
2. When a message appears saying "Boot from CD..." press
the space bar button.
3. When you get to the Windows Setup screen, press the 'R'
key to select repair.
4. On the next screen, press the 'C' key to enter the
Recovery Console.
5. Choose the windows installation by pressing the
appropriate number key and hit enter.
6. Type in the Administrator password of the computer.
7. At this point you are at the Recovery Console command
prompt.
8. Follow the steps under "Available Commands" header at
the following web site:

Here are some examples:
chkdsk c: /p /r
fixboot c:
fixmbr \device\harddisk0
Note: if you use the /r option in chkdsk, it is very
thorough and takes a long time to complete, depending on
how big your hard drive is.
