Hello,
Sorry for breaking in!!!
I have WinMe In (hd0,0) and Win98 MSDOS in (hd1,0). And I can create bootable floppy for both. Please advise how to create the bootsect.dos in linux or msdos for both to work with the grub chainloader that you have suggested. I couldn't locate the bootsect.dos in my WinMe.

Or if you add something like these two stanzas to /boot/grub/grub.conf, you should be able to boot all three OSes from grub. [1]
title Windows 2000 rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title Windows ME rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader /bootsect.dos
That's assuming that you've currently got WinME on C:, which is the first partition of the first drive, and that you've installed Win2K besides it (probably on another partition), allowing the Win2K installer to do its stuff.
(It will put the WinME boot sector into a C:\bootsect.dos file: Grub can use that for booting WinME too).
Hope this helps,
James.
