--------------79E986ABD83B42B2C6FFBE13 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 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.
