As u have already installed linux and want a win2k to be installed than make a bootable disk of linux and than try installing win2k OS this may destroy your MBR. but after completing win2k boot from linux bootable disk and type "lilo" which should install lilo on the mbr. Regarding the harddrive squeezing for win2k I would advice to have a small harddrive for win2k partitioning it through Partion magic or any other utility existing partions but this may create a problem in Linux if it contains any data.
