Do you have a Win98 boot disk or can you get a friend to make you one?
Yes.
Boot your machine from this disk and use fdisk to create 2 partitions of
roughly the same 2GB size.
Install Win2000 in one of the partitions, it does not matter which. I
would also use Fat32 rather than NTFS so that you will be able to more
easily read and write to your Win partition from Linux.
After the installation is complete just to be safe create a Win2000
Rescue Disk.
Install Mandrake in the other partition. As to the bootloader, with
Win2000 I prefer GRUB to LILO. I know Grub works well and I have not used
Lilo.
If you have any other questions or if I can be of futher help just let me
know.
