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
