Fortunatly I can still mount the partition to rescue the important
files, but it is still bad. One would think that the rescue disks should
be able to deal with that kind of problem, after all, that is what they
are there for.
Cheers and thanks for listening (and hopefully helping)

It's a late reply, but here's a thought:
If you can mount the partition, but not boot from it, it may be that the
corruption is to the boot sector in the Win2K partition. I think the
Win2K bootable CD has a rescue option using the command line. There you
should be able to do FIXBOOT or something similar to repair the damage.
