Don't install LILO to the MBR! If Windows 2000 is anything like NT (it
is supposed to be NT 5, after all), you will need to setup Linux to boot
from the Windows 2000 bootloader.

If you install LILO to the MBR, you will likely render your Windows 2000
installation unbootable.

This howto tells you what to do for a Windows NT/Linux dual boot
machine. Read it and see if it can apply to Windows 2000 as well.
