unable to dual boot after change partition


guys, I am having problem. My laptop used to work with dual boot under boot.ini.

dd if=/dev/hdb2 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
I had copied bootsect.lnx to my c:\

Everything is working. But after I change my linux partition, it no longer working. It only allowed me to boot from win2k. How am I going to boot mandrake and redo bootsect.lnx? by the way, I don't have my rescue disk as well. Thank you and have anice day

If you have the Mandrake Boot CD, you can boot into rescue mode.
