Easiest work-around with dual boot repairs
I have a technophobic son, who is very set about how he wants his PC to work (he's 43, and avoided owning any PC before the current one I built for him almost two years ago). He wants Windows98Se working, but right now it's munged up. He claims to have only used the Add/ Remove options in W98's Control Panel to uninstall some things, but Safe Mode won't even load for him.
Unlike my own dual boot PCs, his has both Win98 and Win2000 on the C: drive, not separate logical drives. And his drive is all Fat32. I'd like to get him to abandon Windows98, but no luck. I am assuming that when I get over there with a floppy drive (that PC has none), and floppy disk, that the repair of Windows98 will mangle Windows2000's Boot Manager, and I'm not sure how I need to go about putting things to rights there.

After fixing 98, you will have to boot with the 2000 CD and do a repair.
