LI is LILO starting up. I don't know exactly where it dies, but the letters correspond to sections of the boot process. So, Lilo is dying after the second part of the boot process. Somehow LILO is trying to boot, if the win2k drive is the only one present I don't know, you might have accidentally installed LILO to the win2k drive. Furthermore, how is the win2k drive formatted? If it is NTFS the only way I've been able to dual boot an NTFS drive is by using NTloader as the boot loader and putting a linux option in there. to my knowledge neither grub nor lilo know how to read NTFS drives and so cannot boot a windows that is installed on an NTFS drive (I might be mistaken on that though, but in my experience that has proved correct).
