What did you use to 'copy'? 
If it was 'dd', then I hope your ms-dog partition had a nice life..

What error messages do you get when you boot?

*Maybe* something like Disk Doctor could help, but more likely
with a dos boot disk with format on it you'll be able to get a partition
back, but obviously no data.

Using 'root' can be dangerous to your health....
