NT/98, did I loose my dual boot? Help please.

I have been running a two partition 98/NT dual boot for several months now with very few problems. My 98 install recently became unstable (well more unstable) and I wished to reinstall using SE. Since this is my first dual boot system I consulted a friend who said I could format c:\ (the fat16, 98 partition), reinstall 98 and everything would procede as normal. I did just that. Now my computer boots directly to 98 on startup. I remember now that there was a boot file which would run on startup and provide the option of booting to NT, NT-VGA, or 98. Can someone tell me, is there someway to recreate that file, or if not is there ANY way to avoid reinstalling NT? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have your 3 NT installation disks, boot from them and select to repair the NT installation (press R.) Then choose to "repair boot files" ONLY, on the next screen - deselect the other 3 choices. If you have an Emergency Repair Disk - use it, if you don't - you'll have to do without. You should now get your dual boot back. Leave you NT CD in the drive during this procedure.

If you don't have the 3 installation disks, boot from the NT CD (you may have to change the startup order in your BIOS so the CD goes first) then follow the same procedure as above.

Thank you for you help but I'm sorry to report that the repair disk, which I have managed to loose, is required when I do this process. It give you the options of using the repair disk or searching for the NT 4 install. When I tell it to search it can't find it and asks for the repair disk again. I am getting that sinking feeling.
