I did the exact same thing once - but there is a way to recover.
Do you have a Windows boot disk? If so, boot the computer
into DOS with it and at the prompt simply type 'SYS c:\'
(I'm assuming any reasonable DOS boot disk has sys on it).
That will rewrite the boot sector of the C:\ partition with
the DOS/Windows bootloader. Caveat: This was with Win95, not
Win98, but I don't see why it shouldn't still work.
