Back up any vitally important data. Although it's possible to install Win2K w/o messing up your linux partition, Microsoft repeatedly tries to trick you into erasing it. When you are done installing W2K and you want GRUB back, boot from the Mandrake CD, hit F1, and type "rescue". You can then re-install GRUB.
