Unless M$ has ripped the capability out of W2K, you should also be able to
configure Windows 2000's boot manager to select from multiple partitions to
boot off of. There's a HOWTO (or mini) that covers the NT situation that
should translate over to W2K. In a nutshell, you've gotta snarf the first
512 bytes of the Linux partition (the bootstrap stuff that LILO creates) and
slap that out to a file on the Windows partition, then add one or more
entries to the Windows BOOT.INI file.
And, of course, things are *completely* different for Win9[58].
