IMHO, the setup command should be grub> setup (hd0) Then the grub stage1 file is located in the MBR of your hard disk. (hd0,0) stands for the partition /dev/hda1, which is in your case the NTFS partition. The command setup (hd0,0) will install grub in the "MBR" of /dev/hda1, instead of /dev/hda. That's the reason why your W2K was destroyed. Fortunately, you have command fixboot and fixmbr.
