problem with my dualboot

Hello Friends
My dualboot menu is now faulty.
I made a mistake while trying to use Joe to edit my menu.lst/grub.conf
file I either deleted part of the file or added some caracters.
Now when I start my computer I have only one option and that is 'win98' and
it will start to run once the timout has elaptsed. There should be a option
to go to Fedora 2 but that is gone.
At the top of the screen there is displayed:
gnr grub version....
Next line:
win98
On the screen there is a option to :
e-  for edit
a - modify kernel before booting
c - command-line
If I press e for edit I find only the two last lines of my menu.lst file,
since I do have the menu.lst info should I enter it here?
Or can I type something at the command-lin option and restore the original
grub.conf file at
/etc/boot/grub ...
Or is there a program that I can use from win98 or dos to go and fix it?
I include a copy of my 'menu.lst' file below.
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,1)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358spk) 
     root (hd0,1)
     kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358spk ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
     initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358spk.img
title Windows 98
     rootnoverify (hd0,0)
     chainloader +1
I think I did enter something by mistake just after the 'title fedora' line.


Please help
Rinaldo.
