Looks like you need to go to the bios and set the boot order from whatever it is, to boot a: first. Hopefully, then you have both a win '98 recovery disk for a: and an emergency boot disk, made during the linux install. If it wasn't for the damage done with the win 2000 disk, restoring would be pretty easy. You could probably have done it all with the linux disk.
