Same problem, my old machine burned down and I got a new MB and put my old HD back in. Now it won't boot. The best I can figure is that you make a boot disk on 95/98 and copy a new, empty system file on the HD. NT loader (NTLDR)
"To correct the problem, the user must boot the computer with a Windows 95 or 98 Startup diskette or another bootable diskette with sys.com on it. Then, at the "A:\>" prompt, type "sys c:" and press "enter." A "System Transferred" prompt should appear and then the user must reboot the computer without the diskette." Copied fromhttp://www.webopedia.com/TERM/N/NTLDR.html
I think what I'm gonna try is to install DOS 6.2 (? whatever I have in the closet) and see about getting 2000 to reinstall then.
