When i tried to get it to boot Win2k, which occupies /dev/hdb, it came up with something about NTDLTR or something like that. How can i get it to boot win2k?

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm about 90% sure that Windows insists on "owning" the first partition of the first drive for its boot files. What this means is that I believe you'll have to reverse your setup, so that W2K is on /dev/hda and Linux is on /dev/hdb.

Perhaps someone else on this list can verify or deny this claim.
