Making FAT32 partition bootable on Windows 2000 |

I have a Win2k partition on my laptop that I boot from. It starts below
the 1024 cylinder boundary. I boot Linux from a partition near the end of
the disk so I know the BIOS's LBA capability is fine. I want to move my
win2k partition up to above 1024 but I wanted to test things first. So I
created another FAT32 partition at that location and copied bootldr and
ntoskrnl.exe and the like to it and then tried to boot it. It doesn't
work (can't find ntldr). I think I'm missing the first 8k of the Windows
partition where the second-stage loader exists. Any idea what I need to
put there to test booting? I'm using GRUB as the boot loader. Under DOS,
I would just SYS.COM the partition.
