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,
Qian

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
Hi all -
Sorry if this is not debian specific, let me know if there is a better
place to post this (please don't suggest a RedHat List!)...
I just put in a new HD (80Gigs of which only 32G are used currently b/c
my bios is old) and I put Win2k on the first 15 Gigs; then a Lin Swap
drive of 512Meg
