The above mentioned webpage assumes that Windows XP is installed on drive
C:. No support is offered for other drive letters.My problem is slightly
different.

I have Win98SE already installed on drive C: and WinXP Pro on drive D: . But
the xp bootloader has been overwritten with the Win98 bootloader as I
unknowingly issued the command "sys c:" on booting with the Win98SE boot
floppy. Now the system directly boots in Win98SE. There is no way to boot
into Win XP. Pls. help me restore the xp bootloader and revert back to dual
boot menu.

Try booting into the Recovery Console and run fixboot.
