Default Dual-boot 2000 and XP Pro

Recently installed two new hard drives on same PC.
Installed Win 2000 on C drive and it booted up fine.
Installed Win XP on (default drive) F Drive and it booted
up fine. But Win 2000 no longer boots, and the PC does
not see it, although all Win 2000 files are visible on
Drive C.

I dual-booted these two OS for two years without a
hitch. Why won't it work now?

Is this a MBR issue? If so how can I get each OS to boot?

Have you tried booting from the XP CD and using the Repair Console to
FIXBOOT?
