Try Fdisk /mbr on it.

It is C: but still will not complete the boot.

I tried moving the disk between the two controllers and the same thing
occurs. I tried using disk manager to force the disk letter to C: (what
it originally was for the Win2K boot). Still no dice.

Are you saying that the drive letter was changed? Seems to me that
doesn't yield an 0x7b error. Anyhow, from the Windows XP installation
edit the Windows 2000 registry: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223188/

You can also try the Windows 98 fdisk /mbr command on the non booting
drive.
