I will assume that installing Mandrake 9 and Win2K is the same as with WinXP.
I also have a notebook, 2 partitions (20 and 10 Gb), the first one for XP alone and the second one with 3 logicalo drives: a 1 Gb FAT drive, and the rest for MDK9 (8.75 for EXT2 on / and 256Mb for SWAP) After installing XP i booted from the MDK9 CD, selecting the Expert installation, choose the packages that I wanted to be installed, set the Lilo boot manager and that's about it. I now have a dual boot laptop. Hope this helps.
