It's not that bad.  You should be able to access your C drive, but the
boot files will be overwritten.  So just boot off a win95 floppy and run:

C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\SYS.COM A:\ C:

This will copy the boot files from your floppy to your win9x partition.

(I think) I've actually had to do this before, so it should work.
