If you have win2k on one partition of the disk, say /dev/hda2, and
then install linux on other partitions, with lilo used by linux, you can
restore your ability to boot in win2k by editing /etc/lilo.conf and adding
lines such as
other=/dev/hda2
label=windows
Then execute the command "lilo". After this, at the lilo prompt during
boot you can type "windows" (without quotes) and your machine should boot
up to what's on /dev/hda2 instead of to linux, which the linux
installation has made to be default.
