Mandrake 8.2 Grub Windows 2000 dual boot issue

Hi Y'all,

I installed w2k 1st on partition 1 and mdk8.2 on the other half of hda 
when I installed mdk8.2 it over wrote my my boot sector code for w2kpro 
so I did a boot sector restore using the w2k recovery console... In the 
past I have installed linux boot loader to the hdaX partition(where 
ever I installed linux) and then dd if=/dev/hdaX of=$HOME/linux.ldr 
count=1 bs=512 but this time I wasn't thinking when I wrote the linux 
boot loader...

The question is how do I get grub to write a boot sector to a spot on 
the linux partition disk that I  can then copy the boot code to a 
floppy using dd and then to the root of my C:\ to include in boot.ini.

I am not sure if I have but It may have included devfs because my 
devices point to /dev/hdaX --> some/long/path/I/can't/remember.

Thanks in Advance if anyone has a handle on this...

Cheers
James
