Restoring GRUB



Problem:
My system was configured to use GRUB to boot either Linux (MDK7.1 on
hda6) or win2k (NT boot loader). During a recent forced reinstall of
win2k, the NT bootloader overwrote GRUB, forcing me to use a boot
diskette to get into Linux.
I then tried to reinstall GRUB - 
login as root, 
cd /boot/grub, 
# sh install.sh 
Still no GRUB. NT bootloader still owns mbr.

Question: 
If I boot to DOS, and then run C:\> fdisk /mbr
will that return me to the status quo ante, i.e. the mbr owned by
GRUB? Or am I likely to end with a system which won't boot to
anything? 

TIA. David.
