Oh dear....

I've read the GRUB FAQ's but can't figure out how to get my PC to boot up
anymore.....
Not really a bug - just a stupid user.
I had many OS's on my machine : Linux, Win98, Win2000 Advanced Server and
was happily using GRUB to select which one i booted to. All was well until
i wanted some extra disk space to install Microsofts .NET development tools
Beta 1 and used win2000 disk manager to format the partition i had linux on
(stupid i know, but it was essential that i installed .NET for some work i
was doing at the time and the only partition i didn't have work stuff on
was the Linux one). Win2000 told me i needed to change the Boot.ini file to
point to partition 3 not 4 for win2000. I couldn't for the life of me find
the fricking file so i rebooted and used the win98 boot disk i had to edit
the boot.ini file as needed.

The problem is: when i start my machine now it just boots to a stage where
the GRUB command is. (ie grub> ) - i looked through the help details but
can't figure out what's gone wrong - do i have to change something in a
grub file to represent my partition change?

I have 2 hard drives:
1:   3.2GB - win98
2:   10GB - split into 5 2GB partitions comprising FAT32, NTFS now (I
previously had a 50MB swap for Linux and 1.95GB for Linux itself but this
is now NTFS (arghhhh!).

Any ideas?????
I have a bunch of work related stuff under win98 on my C: drive that i
can't afford to use...
I definately dont want to get rid of GRUB as it's dead useful - how can i
get it back to normal working order...... i long for that yellow and blue
selection screen to appear again!
