Dual Boot 98/XP

Have (currently read HAD) a dual boot Win98/Win XP system.

Developed out of the blue an Invalid System Disk error when attmpting to boot to 98 (c.

Was still able to get to XP installation/partition from the boot menu.

Made the potential mistake of running a sys c: command on the 98 partition.

Now Win98 boots directly, i.e. I no longer get the boot menu despite the fact that boot.ini is still in the root of drive c:\.

Is there anyway to get the boot process to see the boot menu/loader short of reinstalling XP?

Thanks in advance.
