boot off the win2k cd and run the install again. Follow these exact steps:
 
Press 'enter' when prompted to continue (not repair yet!)
 
Press 'F8' to agree to license agreement
 
Now it should find your existing installation, and now you can choose 'R' to repair it
 
This will keep all of your programs and the registry intact. If you updated any drivers before, you will have to do them again, and you will probably also need to get the critical updates again. Minimal loss and a refreshed OS ....
