are you trying to get rid of linux and install win2k server? if so, format, run a 98 bootdisk, type 'fdisk /mbr' (to clean the Master Boot Record) and then install win2k Server.. Hope this helps..
sure, it will work.. the easy way to do it would be to install windows first, then linux, for the fact that windows loves to rewrite the MBR on installation.. check out the grub-howto at www.tldp.org, or just do a google search on "grub HOWTO dual boot windows linux" I came up with this link to help ya out.. http://rtfm.dyndns.info/tips/2002/11/13/51.shtml
