I had it dual booting with GRUB as the boot loader and had to reload w2k( no surprise) I can now get to linux with my backup boot floppy but how can I get grub back in place so I can get back to linux with out the floppy?

As root,

Try to run grub-install /dev/hda.

If it doesn't want to work straight from the terminal. Mount your boot floppy and run grub-install off of it.
