Server crash. Master.mdf file not found. How to restore master.mdf?

Hi. One of my customers had a server crash. Upon bringing it back up they couldn't get SQL Server 2000 to start their service. It turns out that master.mdf is gone. However, I have access to a backup of the master.mdf as well as the other databases and transaction logs. How can I restore master.mdf when I can't start the server service to start (but I can get into Enterprise Manager)?

Critical problem. Please provide assistance. Thanks in advance...
