Hey Greg,

How are ya doing.  Well sounds like you gotta hell of a problem right 
now.  As far as I know there is no cure for your prob yet.  I have heard 
the Windows 2000 bootloader likes to be on top and doesnt like Lilo or 
grub,  I had the same problem with my Laptop and the only way I could 
get it to work is by using the Linux boot disk that I created during 
setup.  If you didnt create the boot disk you need to use the install 
disks and do the Rescue option if your dual boot was anything like mine 
the mount point for Linux was /dev/hda8 what ever yours is type it and 
let it boot.  Now to make a bootdisk type /sbin/mkbootdisk and that will 
create your boot disk

Good luck
