Help, I think I lost my boot sector

I made the huge mistake of testing a Windows 2K System Install Boot CD on my
Redhat system.  I thought the CD wouldn't write anything until I said
proceed with the install.  Evidently it messed up my boot sector.  Everytime
I attempt to boot up from the hard drive, I get the following message:

    DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

If I boot up with my Linux floppy, then the system comes up fine.

Is there any way to repair the boot sector?
