well I am not expert in the boot loaders but I went through similar problem before in Redhat 9 days. It has something to do with Windows 2000/NT because windows 2000 MBR and Grub is not compatible unlike Windows 98/me/xp, where grub can chain load other operating systems. Whichever you install first, windows 2000 will overwrite the MBR. If you plan to use both Windows 2000 and Linux, you have to use third party boot loader (I guess commercial ones). Since its been long time I forgot which boot loaders are avilable out there. You can search the goole for available tools.
hi, you can use this http://gag.sourceforge.net/ and it is free! it is great, you can use it on a diskette, or write into MBR, you can reconfigure it as many times as you like and support a lot of disks and operating systems. regards, Guillermo.
