I had to do this to get my Win2k back after installing FreeBSD. Boot from the Win2k installation CD. When you get the option of enter to install, there is an option R to repair. Choose it. It will get you to a command prompt after logging in as the local administator. Issue 'help' at the prompt to make sure I am giving you the right command, but I think the command is 'fixmbr'.
