Yes, Qian is right I think.
You can, if you wish, install grub in the first sector of a linux filesystem
partition. One thing you can then do is dd the first sector into a file, copy
it over to Windows and add it to your win2k boot menu (boot.ini) and have Linux
be a boot option in the Window
d of /dev/hda. That's the reason why your W2K was
destroyed. Fortunately, you have command fixboot and fixmbr.
Good luck,

I think grub itself is installed OK but maybe you don't have the right stuff in
your menu.lst. I always have a hard time getting it straight when I first set
it up.
I have a grub boot for Slackware, Windows 2000 and BeOS. Here is the line that
gets me to the Win2k boot menu:
title Windows 2
I tried running from floppy grub prompt
grub> root (hd0,11)
grub> setup (hd0,0)
at which point it said it successfully updated the MBR and installed
the grub files... then i rebooted and could get to debian fine, but
rebooted again and when selecting the option for windows 2000 it just
came back
I will try that, but I recall trying it before and getting an error;
something like "File not found"... I will reread the grub doc and
reboot, give it a shot, and take note of the results

You should be able to do what you want.
It sounds like you are running grub-install from the Linux command line. While
that ought to work, I recall reading in the grub doc that they recommend that
you install it to the boot sector of your drive from the command line that you
can get inside of
