I had a similar problem some time ago with Linux, Windoze 95 and NT 4 on the
one hard drive.After much trial and error I managed to get it right by
installing the NT bootloader to boot NT or 95 and installing Lilo last.
So, on power-up I firstly get the Lilo prompt which will boot to either
Linux or the NT bootloader. Then the NT bootloader boots to NT4 or 95.
I dont know much about Win 2K, but hope this helps.
