I fixed it. Knoppix comes with the FreeDos tools. I used FDISK /MBR 1 (or something along those lines) to move the master boot record off my 2nd drive and back on to the first one.
My second drive got formatted in the fray, but there isn't much on there but old stuff. It was worth it to get rid of that annoying startup option.
