Get the file 'bteasy17.zip', unpack and run it from DOS.
It will install a new bootmanager on your harddisc.
The file is very small, you can put it on a bootable DOS 
floppy and boot from that one, in case you can't boot DOS
form your harddisc.

You'll find the file in '2.1-RELEASE/tools/dist/' on the CD
or on FTP servers.
