Are XP and WIN2K in separate partitions ? can you install their NTLDRs
in thier own partitions, and not in hda1 (as it were) ?
On a related note, I recall using DD to take an image of the NTLDR, and
telling lilo to boot from this, in order to dual-boot a windows install.
Could you take an image of each NTLDR, and point lilo/grub at these ?
I'm afraid I'm fuzzy on the details, as this was 5-6 years ago.
