Which windows? I've only experience with NT and 95. With either I have
had the M$ OS on the first drive and Linux on the second. I've also had
them both on a single drive, although M$ OS was first. In both cases I
had LILO installed in the mbr.
Windows 95 will blow away an existing LILO mbr, so if you're
re-installing 95 and Linux, install 95 first.
I've always installed Linux second on my Linux/NT configurations, so I
don't know what you might encounter by doing Linux then NT, but I know
that NT first, Linux second works for me.

I'm afraid there will be more problems with W2K than there were with
Y2K...
