MBR wiped, now cant boot windows XP

Heya all, I have a hard disk with 3 partitions
c:\ Windows 98
d:\ Stuff
e:\ Windows XP
I installed windows 98 first, then I installed windows XP onto the E:. It worked
fine until today, when i ghosted another windows98 image off another machine (that
was set to c:\). So now it can only boot into windows 98. I am kicking myself because
the MBR has been overwritten, i had no backups, and because windows xp needed to
point to c: in order to boot, i dont have the original system files. I wonder if
this has happened to anyone else. I am not too worried tho, because i have ghosted
my XP image I can just re-install windows xp to the e: again and then once setup
has changed the mbr again, i can reghost it, but i wonder if theirs any advice anyone
can give me to install windows xp that doesnt point to the primary partition (so
i can use OSLoader to boot it instead)
