-> On a Win9x system, I would remove that, using FDISK /MBR, but I suspect 
doing
-> that to a WinNT/2K system would leave it unbootable-- at least to Win2K.

Yeah, that would remove the entire master boot record causing a
complete unbooted system.

-> Am I going to have to boot to the W2K install CD-ROM, and run the repair
-> module? Will I have to re-install SP1 after that? Or is that when I get to
-> use the unbootable Emergency Recovery Diskette (see previous
-> message)?

Will it all depends.  If you run the installation again, basically all
that does is looks at the files that are currently there, updates them
if they are out-of-date with what's on the CD-ROM.  I would suggest that
you repair the system using the CD-ROM and then afterwards, just run the
Sp1 upgrade again to make sure that all the applications/dlls and other
goodies that were fixed in SP1 upgrade are all current and you don't
have any .DLL mismatches laying around anywhere to cause you grief
later.
