Go there and
find where the file boot.ini is located. Copy the bootsect.lnx to the
same location. Normally it's just C:\, but as you have Win98 it could be
E:\, D:\ or whatever where your W2K resides. Add the following line to
boot.ini:
%path to bootsect.lnx%="Fedora" (it could be D:\bootsect.lnx="Fedora"
for example)
4. Restart and choose Fedora from the boot menu - see whether it does
the trick.

I'm scaredy cat, uh, i mean conservative, with regards to grub et al.  win2k is on C:\,E:\ is fat32 share, F:\ is linux FC3


would this be a good boot.ini to re-establish dual booting?

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect


F:\bootsect.lnx="Fedora"

If you're not comfortable setting this up yourself, try using a tool designed for the job. "Bootpart" runs from Windows and will create a bootsect.lnx file for you and make the necessary change to boot.ini for you.
