Master restore off MSDE

I was needing to restore master from a server that has MSDE installed. Without ISQL on the box, how would I get master restored?
How about to install sql 2000 tools?

You can use any tool that will allow you to connect to a SQL Server database. Install the tools, download Toad, use Visual Studio, whatever. Here is a resource for restoring master if you need it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/howtosql/ht_7_backpc_61x5.asp
