I only just installed Debian for the first time over the weekend,
(so don't take this as gospel, and any experts correct me if I am
wrong). What you do is (if you are using lilo, which I believe is the
default boot loader) is edit /etc/lilo.conf.
If Win2K is installed on hda1 (which is the equivalent of C:\ in
windows) at the end of the file /etc/lilo.conf add two new lines:
other=/dev/hda1
label=Win2K
then run "lilo" from the shell prompt which will re-install lilo.
cheers,
gMan.
