Making FAT32 partition bootable on Windows 2000

I have a Win2k partition on my laptop that I boot from.  It starts below
the 1024 cylinder boundary.  I boot Linux from a partition near the end of
the disk so I know the BIOS's LBA capability is fine.  I want to move my
win2k partition up to above 1024 but I wanted to test things first.  So I
created another FAT32 partition at that location and copied bootldr and
ntoskrnl.exe and the like to it and then tried to boot it.  It doesn't
work (can't find ntldr).  I think I'm missing the first 8k of the Windows
partition where the second-stage loader exists.  Any idea what I need to
put there to test booting?  I'm using GRUB as the boot loader.  Under DOS,
I would just SYS.COM the partition.
